Being a daughter of diaspora has informed my concern with intergenerational knowledge. I reject the notion of monolithic hxstory and seek to disrupt Eurocentric knowing through pieces that center silences and invisibilities that are local, global, personal and familial. The complex textures unwound in the work are meant to be invitations to engage the audience with a question of how we might reckon with our species-wide epidemic of violence. My practices as an artist, community member, educator and learner are grounded in a persistent curiosity about the potential of a collective imagination.
