ecosystem

I am accountable to communities in Chicago and the midwest. As an artist and organizer, I strive to be in solidarity with other communities of color to fight for Black and queer liberation, Indigenous sovereignty, the end of empire and climate justice. My intention is to push all of us to imagine futures beyond this current dimension, and to make art that fuels action.

My art roots Asian American folks in collective struggle by visualizing narratives and illuminating concepts of abolition, community care and generational curse-breaking. Currently, I organize with Nikkei Uprising in Chicago.

I’m blessed to exist within a vibrant interdependent ecosystem of creatives. I learn and grow as an artist by being in relationship with these creators.
