Cultural events & Projects
Even when I was a young girl, I was always conjuring up neighborhood events such as playing "summer school" or building bonfires out Thane Road, or racing our handmade boats down at the dock. I haven't changed much.
While some of the following events below were not produced and directed by myself and fellow comrades, and I was a participant invited into the event, I thank my fellow artists, project comrades, and art supporters for assisting me in some of the projects we produced and directed:
