On “Doing Creative Work from Your Political Body”, moderated by Dahlia El Broul.

Join Myriam Diatta, author, for a reading and conversation on her new book, Doing Creative Work from Your Political Body: A Guide and Process for Practice-led Research, published with Set Margins’. The event will be dedicated to the daily work that politically engaged designers, writers, performers, visual artists, musicians, educators, researchers, and cultural workers do.

While the academies, cultural institutions, and universities around us tend to separate practice and theory, we will invite you to reflect: What do you make and where? What socio-political realities do you engage with? And, at the heart of the exploration, how might you nurture the making, being, thinking, and reading you do—all at once?

Myriam D. Diatta is a designer and independent scholar. Her practice focuses on the interior at the intersection of politically engaged work and creative knowledge production. Myriam is Black-Asian, Japanese-Diola, with a political and creative foundation nurtured in New York City. She is currently based in Aarhus, Denmark.
