hey, welcome to my studio index; selected projects, 
publications, and initiatives are archived below.

As an artist, publisher, facilitator, and writer, I cultivate poetic and material interventions into the banal, daily, and intimate operations of imperial fields of power. [1] Through various responsive forms, such as organizations, installations, texts, videos, programs and printed matter, I iterate methods and resources for scaffolding autonomous communities. Feminist, queer, anarchist, and abolitionist frameworks offer me a horizon, while my lived and familial traditions of migration, cultural displacement and legacies of exile offer me a ground. In surfacing that which statist politics suppress, my research stretches forward and backward in time to rewrite possibilities for life-sustaining practices in the present.

Emerging through the ethos of independent publishing, my projects often appropriate mass printing technologies, such as copy machines, risographs, and offset printers, as methods of organizing counterpublics through the distribution of printed and digital matter. The act of distribution, which unravels across space and through intimate networks of relationships, intervenes on and blurs boundaries of “public” and “private.” While emphasizing the intimacy of insurgent modes of address, I am invested in reconfiguring and disordering confines of “permissible” speech and “plausible” worlds.

The most meaningful sites of my work take place in daily encounters and events of life where intimacies, ruptures, and solidarities are nourished. In these contexts, I craft containers for shared study that foreground questions of belonging in legal, social, and psychological spheres. By gathering with those who diverge from normative linguistic traditions to reclaim speech on their/our own terms, I aim to transform language into a location of healing. Ultimately, my practice aims to engage continued and irresolvable attempts at accounting for recurrent moments of original violence. I regard these attempts, alongside the collectivities and contexts they act in concert with, as an unstable ground where other worlds could also grow.
