Over the summer of 2023, I had the privilege of interviewing artist and Assistant Professor Anna Binta Diallo. The interview focused on Diallo's solo exhibition, Topographies, at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery (RMG) which ran from June 10 to September 24, 2023. A PDF version of the interview can be found on my website and hard copies of the text can be collected on site at the RMG.

I wrote and published a review for 'everything slackens in a wreck' curated by Andil Gosine at the Ford Foundation in 2022.

An essay written by Toronto based artist and archivist Julia Huynh about the virtual group exhibition, Archival Affections, my work 'Trudging Congealed Seas (Pilot)' is part of.

This dossier seeks to make the Indian Caribbean more visible and more pertinent to critical debates within Caribbean discourses. Few studies have undertaken serious analyses of Indian Caribbean creative expression, and most ignore the newness and complex fusions that characterize music, dance, and visual cultures in the postindenture diaspora. We endeavor to nuance conversations around marginalized Caribbean cultural production and multilocal identity, understanding the arts as useful historical archives. An overview of Indian indentureship precedes the presentation of the articles, which provide deep analyses that critically address these issues: how Indian identity is expressed and debated in performative and artistic practices, including LGBTQ challenges to categories of race and gender; what comparative analyses reveal about continuity, change, and exchange across the Indian Caribbean diaspora; how racial and cultural alterities are resolved within an African “creole” and/or multicultural framework; and how orientations to India, citizenship, and transnational belonging are expressed and processed.

This is a link to my PhD thesis, titled 'Embodying Entanglement', from the Victorian College of the Arts (2019). 'Embodying Entanglement' is a practice-based research project investigating how material engagements with the body can examine personal histories of sexual assault and racism. It presents embodied trauma as processual, wherein videos, handmade books, and live performances work with various organic materials cyclically filtered through the body. This project reframes depictions of trauma in art, focusing on metaphorical evocations of the ongoing experiential impact of trauma, rather than the graphic reperformance of traumatic events.

This is a review of Thembi Soddell's album titled 'Love Songs'. I was commissioned to create accompanying films for some of the compositions on the album. In this review, my films are also featured.

Volume 1 of this Winnipeg based arts zine published photographic documentation of my live performance 'Purge'.

My short essay titled 'My Mother Performs Exorcisms in Her Sleep' is featured in this Helsinki based zine.

Issue 11 of this Houston based zine features my writing,'Soucouyant', and documentation of my performance, 'Cartography'.

My live performance 'Bite Your Tongue' and works from my collaborative photographic practice with Melissa Tran ('Chimera Collaboration') were featured in this issue of 'Whiny Femmes'. This zine is an opportunity to whine or to speak to the power of whining. It seeks to embrace the beauty of complaining as a way to validate the tenderness that is frowned upon and suppressed everyday for femme folks (& femmes at the intersection of multiple oppressions).

An essay by Diego Ramirez on a group exhibition my performance 'Cartography' was featured in titled 'The Lines in Between'.

Australian sound artist Thembi Soddell sampled a section of my poem from 'Soucouyant' for their electroacoustic composition 'Glue and Return' in 2016.

An article written by Cory Rice on my MFA thesis show at ClampArt in 2014.

'Somatic Dissonance' is my MFA thesis project from the Rhode Island School of Design (2014). A series of memory vignettes collected as journal entries were the stimulus for my studio research during my MFA project. My studio research drew from and combined a variety of mediums including performance, video installation, sound installation, photography, and stop motion animation. The use of combined media offered a blending of time and space in an effort to record cyclical rituals and alters to the past, an unveiling of hidden layers of the mind. My narrative was built on an image of myself constructed from memories—records with no visual markers. Using the language of combined media I constructed something tangible out of the intangible. This process was an act of resolve, propelled by a desire for stability and an expanded vision of self. Persistent and recurring imagery and themes—oral telling, inversion, the body, prognostication, trauma, and lineage—are enmeshed with a deep personal need to find a voice for something inside me that desperately wanted to speak but was somehow unable to.
