Through the embodiment of remembrance and prayer rituals, I resurrect and reimagine forms of collective liberation through story in writing, film and archival research. Coming from a lineage of herbalists, shapeshifters and freedom fighters who have preserved these ways - despite purposeful erasure - I celebrate this voice of resistance which has kept generations of people and stories alive. I seek to continue this legacy, burning the candle bright in times of deep division.
I'm a permanent studio resident at Pervasive Media Studios and a member of Muhibatt al Rasul - a sisters sufi collective who run an informal support network and regular dhikr gatherings. I also have a free monthly newsletter - the 99 Names of Allah - exploring notions of homecoming through the path of the divine.
