about tiger stepmom

“TIGER STEPMOM”, a multimedia art project, was born out of experience as an abolitionist student organizer with and from time spent researching anti-imperialist movement history archives, from San Francisco to London to Hong Kong. My work continues to center prison-industrial-complex abolition and decarceration, as well as liberation from white supremacy, empire, and militarism.

My goal is to create political art that can be nonsensical and joyous, hold space for grief and rage, and to remind us of the love and solidarity that sustain collective resistance. I believe that the first step to winning the liberated, multipolar future we want to live in is by actively visualizing it, rather than reproducing depictions of suffering. My hope is that my work will drive us to recognize that we owe it to each other - and to future generations - to organize and take action to make this future possible, by any means necessary.
