(he/him/they/them)

The pandemic and continued social rights movements have led us to reflect on how things are done, what systems are in place to allow what voices to get heard and how. LUCID feels to me like a way in which we continue to question and challenge how we approach living in this world, who makes art and how they make it. It is a way to shake up the colonial system an dream about art and art-making in ways full of collaboration, care and respect. The chance to collaborate with Vie Jones, to learn as a person and an artist and to support and uplift the work of other artists is undeniably exciting to me. As a fiercely queer artist who thrives on community, I can't wait to extend our HEIST family with the participating emerging artists and knowledge keepers and see what futures we can imagine together.
