-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a compulsive maker of things. I am a practicing interdisciplinary visual artist.
Trying to survive post-university life, working collaboratively with persons with visible and non-visible disabilities, teaching art making to all kinds of folks, trying to find healthier coping methods and enjoy the little things.

In a nutshell - I'm a busy, queer, mixed, gemini, femme bb.

Interested in:
+ decolonization, accountability, unlearning
+ making queer and feminist movements more inclusive
+ radical craftwork
+ conspiracy theories
+ individual and collective mythologies
+ learning all kinds of new things
+ every type of empowerment
+ ghost stories
+ my next nap
+ animal friend cuddles
+ tea, all day long
+ humility and vulnerability
+ long, directionless drives in the rain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To help me fulfill my dream of taking off without looking back, starting a new life in a new city with a new identity.
To grow introspectively and interpersonally. To meet folks with similar values and aspirations.
