“Respectability politics are overrated.”
Location:
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States of America
Professional title:
Independent Artist
What do you do?
I make art, essays, and performances that center experiences we don't talk about enough like violence, mental health, and disability; I also am a teaching artist and artist career consultant.
Why?
I make the work I do because I think shame scatters when we share our stories.
What should we read?
Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Riotous Black Girls, Troublesome Women, and Queer Radicals by Saidiya Hartman
