SOCIAL PRACTICE
I approach the medium of social practice as a framework for revisioning and peeling open complexities about who and what we value as a society. Rather than approaching a social issue as a problem to be solved, I wish to hold space for dissidence, gray areas, contradiction, and alchemy. My work is process and praxis-based and my primary audience are those who are present as participants and co-creators. Each project draws from methods originating in disciplines of theater, somatic theory, care ethics, and performance art to emphasize face-to-face connections across socio-economic division.
