PERFORMATIVITY :: EPISTEMOLOGIES FROM THE SOUTH :: MIGRANT MEDITATIONS ::  ​EXCILIC SPACE

Contemporary artist working in performance, video, and installation.
​My work explores themes of displacement and migration, grief and mourning, memory and exile, using a rich visual language wherein nostalgia, radical tenderness, and rituality often intermingle to evoke an exilic space of personal and collective transformation.

My use of soft, organic, and repurposed materials reflects my deep concern for environmental issues as well as an ethics of care. I also typically use found objects in my work, not only in response to my ecological concerns, but also as a way to engage with the histories and memories which they carry with them. ​​
