About
I am (she/her) an artist-scholar residing in my hometown, Detroit, MI. I work at the intersection of arts, archives, and African American histories. Through engaging artmaking as an information technology, I am interested in critiquing, reimagining, and refiguring cultural histories. I earned an MFA in Art-Graphic Design (Wayne State University) and am a PhD candidate in Information Sciences at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I’m interested in examining arts’ roles within knowledge production and its decolonization: how we craft, document, process, and circulate information through making art to dismantle and recuperate from societal ills.
