is an artist, organiser and educator. She experiments with ways to hold onto, and consider, colonial infrastructures we are a part of by studying topographies, intentions and misuses of communication technologies. Studying is both form and content of her practice, which is articulated as curriculum, workshop, symposium or works that reconfigure and restage debris from collective learning. Debris is transmitted as experimental writing, sculpture, print, performance, radio and film.
She is a member of [Varia](https://varia.zone/en/), co-organiser of [Performance Lab](https://performancelab.ga/) and a founding librarian of this [library](https://www.who-is-the-author.me/).\

This work was first a performance lecture, then reworked as an essay, then reassembled as a sculpture.
Materials include; square bar metal stand, a slide projector, slides, purple satin rope, roll of paper. Riso printed book with the script of the performance lecture, within which tells the narrative of artist Aubrey Williams, the curatorial turn towards 'primitivism and 'abstract expressionism, the erasure of African art from stories of modernism and biases of art education. Quotes and stills from a documentary about Aubrey William's life and work, from a conversation between Williams and Picasso, appear on the slides.
The performance used both a digital and slide projector, our two female voices travelled through microphones while another female narrator, the artist and researcher Cristina Cochior, is a prerecorded voice played out throughout the space. One costume is inflatable and runs of a battery pack requiring 4AA batteries. Inflation of the costume coincides with moments in the script when the European art scene benefits from cultural references taken from Africa, and/or artists of the African diaspora.
