I have been shaped by colonial and western ways of being and knowing.

With artist AJ Kluck (AUArts student)

I have been shaped by colonial and western ways of being and knowing; and I acknowledge that the goal of the colonial machine is to separate people from themselves, from their communities, from their land, from their language. So I make art as an act of resistance, as an act of personal expression, as an act of love. I continue to slowly return to my ancestor's ways of being and knowing. I am learning to redefine what strength is, what care looks like, and what community means to me. I learn and I learn, and I unlearn and I listen. I often do not know what I am doing, but I try my best.
