I am a research-based artist and writer addressing questions of activism, radical politics, and the political efficacy of art. My writing practice inhabits the intersections of critical theory, anti-racist theory, pedagogy, and radical politics. This practice provides a wide research base and usually works in conjunction with my creative practice, one that typically involves an intensive gathering of cultural materials that pursue a charting of ideological patterns. Using cultural material as raw material allows me to stage ideological juxtapositions, make evident how violence is an iterative process, and experiment with strategies of détournement.
