Art for Change
In addition to the work that I create in the academic and professional worlds, it is important to me to produce art that has the potential to directly inspire social and political change. I recently co-curated, co-directed, co-produced, and choreographed Ajna, a benefit art event (movement, music, sound, photography, videography and spoken word) that raised money for Wellspring Living. Wellspring is an Atlanta-based organization that provides therapeutic services for minor young women and girls who are victims of sex trafficking. In 2016, with multifaceted Atlanta artist Leah Boresow, I co-directed, co-produced, choreographed and curated Heartspace, another benefit art event that raised funds for Wellspring Living.
