Rebecca Ustrell

Rebecca Ustrell is an artist, educator, and documentarian in the Inland Empire of Southern California. In 2018 after a long period of creative burn-out, she leaned into her life-long passion for printed ephemera and founded Curious Publishing, a non-profit artbook publishing company which focuses on archiving stories and creating wealth by supporting queer, BIPOC, and femme creatives through small-run artbooks, zines, and print collections. In 2023-2024, she was the Activist Artist in Residence for the Community Engagement Center at Pitzer College, and is currently the Event Coordinator for Museum Arts & Culture at the City of Ontario.
