ABOUT ME
WHAT I'M DOING
WHAT I HOPE FOR
A story teller who wants to write, share, create space where others can tell their tales. An ARTivist using performance art and installations as my medium.
LISTEN TO ME HERE or not... Shadow Traffic's Podcast (ep.8)
​
“Once Upon a Felony” presented by Faerie Tayler is an ongoing and queer fairytale series about my being directly impacted by the criminal punishment system and the struggles therafter.
This piece is about freedom- the ability to represent myself and to gain artistic citizenship-by using public art as a civic function. I believe in radical expression, civic engagement, transparency, inclusion,
a DO-ANYTHING-NOW mentality, and how art can evolve our neighborhoods into more empathetic and compassionate places​.
Once Upon a Felony is presently focused on producing a short film-with hopes to host storytellers: my friends and their families (also directly impacted people)

Seems crazy, but kids should know how much trouble they can get in before they are old enough to be in it, encouraging open communication between parents and child.
