Pink Mammoth

Pink Mammoth[1] is a San Francisco-based non-profit artist collective, founded by Ryel Kestano and Derek Hena in August, 2003.

It also is influenced by the Buddhist concept of the Boddhisattva, a being dedicated to enabling, supporting, and encouraging others to reach their ultimate state of enlightenment.

The organization has maintained active residencies throughout San Francisco and has performed at significant San Francisco dance music venues including Mighty, Monarch, Public Works, Monroe, Supperclub, Mezzanine, Halcyon, The Midway, The Great Northern, and Audio.

These highlight the organization's heavy emphasis on community and expressive celebration by showcasing and promoting its own artist-participants, including DJs, percussionists, vocalists, live event artists, fabric designers, and graphic artists.

Its participants have represented the collective in Mexico, London, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and throughout the United States.
