I center Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (QTBIPOC). These are the people I come from. These are the identities I embody. These are the folks with whom I practice fugitivity*.

I don’t believe in the binary in any of its forms. Gender, right and wrong, good and evil are all binaries. I use they/them/elle/ellx pronouns. I am expansive. I am multiplicity.

I want to work with artists. I want to guide us to our individual self-actualization. Reclaiming Indigenous and diasporic ways of being. How can our communities be well if we are not well. How can an artist create from a place of their true self if they don’t know who they are. Let’s undo what we have been taught and test that knowledge to see what sticks.

If you as an artist didn’t have to create for a grant application, commission, or to get paid, what would you create? What comes out of your core being when you are allowed to dream and travel different dimensions?

*Fugitivity: A term that has been used by Black theorists to describe the  process of seeing and creating freedom within completely enslaving  circumstances past and present. “I think of fugitivity as Harriet Tubmanness, the  process of seeing and prioritizing collective freedom. The shapeshifting  evasion of capture, by slave catchers, norms, and institutions. The way we find  each other and free each other again and again.”
