Radio, Documentary, Public Media, 2020–present

As an extension of my sculptural and performance practice, I have worked in documentary, radio, and public media to hold first-person stories, oral histories, and conversations with artists, workers, organizers, and residents of New Orleans. These works use listening as a material, carrying voices into shared spaces through film, radio broadcast, posters, monitors, and printed matter.

Across documentary shorts, radio interviews, and public screenings, this work traces how people move through crisis, labor, union organizing, grief, cultural inheritance, and collective survival.
