Curatorial Statement
I am interested in building bridges between queer youth communities and the professional performing arts world, positioning the work within a broader dialogue on knowledge sharing, decentralizing artistic authority, and amplifying the voices and visions of queer youth. My intention is to uplift, celebrate, and draw attention to the powerful transformative potential of self-expression, specially embracing what and who is already here, and keeping the work local and personal.
