Robbie Ann Pino is a Chicana activist, visual artist, set designer, and director. She has been working with the Indigenous Resistance for 11 years, fighting environmental racism in places such as Big Mountain, AZ, Nevada Test Site, Ward Valley, CA, the Mexican/American border region and Chiapas, Mexico. Robbie Ann believes theatre can help bring about social change and continues to find creative ways to promote art in forgotten communities.

She has been a core artist with Wise Fool NM since 1998 and has facilitated projects such as; Takoja Theatre Summer Camp for Native youth on the Rosebud Reservation, Jicarilla Apache Summer Camp, children's painting workshops and performances in Nicaragua and Chiapas, Mexico, Cochiti after school, and Challenge New Mexico Performing Arts Troupe. She also helped create a shadow puppet play that addresses issues of historical trauma since the European invasion, which led her to become a trainer of substance abuse prevention planning in Native communities. This play has been performed as part of Native substance abuse prevention trainings throughout New Mexico as well as at the annual American Indian Higher Education Consortium, La Voz Festival of Latino Arts and various community education conferences.

She currently lives in Peņasco, NM where she is the artistic director of El Puente Theatre and Cultural Center.
