Ayasha Guerin is a multidisciplinary artist and scholar based between Brooklyn and Berlin. She is currently a PhD candidate in NYU’s American Studies department, where her academic research explores the socio-ecological relationships of urban-waterfronts through a feminist, decolonial lens. The modes and methods of her various workspaces inform one another: archival materials play important roles in her creative practice, and her pedagogy centers creative exploration. Currently she is doing research at the May Ayim and Audre Lorde archives at the Freie Universität Berlin, and leading workshops to familiarize participants with this important record of trans-national, queer, Black feminist thought.
