excited to share my first crack at criticism/arts writing for MDW’s Atlas Publication (@mdw.coalition).

as America descends further into fascist indoctrination, historical collection can longer be a passive process; it must be applied radically. i’ve spent a lot of time orally discussing my journey through Kansas City’s archiving institutions and how i want {B/qKC} to thrive anti-disciplinarily–glad that i’m finally getting the chance to explore that through this paper.

“Americana has always been historicized for the benefit (and thus, through the lens) of the white ruling class.”
