My introduction to my female-self was ceremonial. My introduction to my artist-self was less about affirming a woman’s power and more about learning to accommodate, acquiesce to, and affirm a euro-driven hierarchy along with phallocentric models of performance, criticism, and theory.

In my prompt to the Geographic Correspondents, I unintentionally included the language how does the "world outside world" impact your work? It has a...

The most important use of democracy is to overcome censorship; even more important is to overcome self-censorship.
