My work broadly focuses on art and affect theory as a means of decentering whiteness in the arts. I explore contemporary artists’ lived experiences and how these experiences are evidenced in their work as ways of knowing. My research examines how art, as a primarily affective medium, teaches us about the self and other. When in critical discourse and interrogation with art, we are affected; and spaces within ourselves open up and connect self with other. These spaces allow for liminal dialogues to occur; within these liminal spaces, the affective turn exists, inciting personal transformations through aesthetic contemplation and reflection.
