I blend archival research, site-specific investigations, visits with my Elders, and ancestral knowledge to find my own ways to tell the stories of my people, land, and history.

HURRICANE AS...
An investigation of hurricanes as ecological forces, historical actors, spiritual beings — their natural functions and the personal, spiritual, and historical lessons they leave in their wake.
MINING KNOWLEDGE & MEMORY
A combination of archival research and contemporary reporting linking early modern gold-seeking — including Columbus’s quests — with present-day exploitations to reveal historical continuities of dispossession and resistance.

A traversance of Samaná’s past and present through bloodlines, oral histories, archival maps, photographs, and art. This hybrid cartography aims to capture the lived geography of Samaná by locating and mapping sites of historical memory, rebellion, and family history.
