مؤلف: Alanna Lockward

Alanna Lockward is a Caribbean author and independent curator. She is the founding director of Art Labour Archives, an exceptional platform centered on theory, political activism, and art. Her interests are Caribbean marronage discursive and mystical legacies in time-based practices, critical race theory, decolonial aesthetics/aesthesis, Blak feminism, and womanist ethics. Lockward is the author of Apremio: apuntes sobre el pensamiento y la creación contemporánea desde el Caribe (Cendeac, 2006), a collection of essays, the short novel Marassá y la Nada (Santuario 2013), and Un Haití Dominicano. Tatuajes fantasmas y narrativas bilaterales (1994-2014) is a compilation of her investigative work on the history and current challenges between both island-nations (Santuario 2014). She was cultural editor of Listín Diario, research journalist of Rumbo magazine, and columnist of the Miami Herald and is currently a columnist of Acento.com.do. Her essays and reviews have been widely published internationally by Afrikadaa, Atlántica, ARTECONTEXTO, Arte X Excelencias, Art Nexus, Caribbean In Transit, and Savvy Journal. In 2014, she was the guest columnist of Camera Austria. Her nomadic character is imprinted in the multidimensional perspectives of her writings, after living in Mexico, Haiti, the United States, Australia, and currently between Berlin and Santo Domingo. Equally at home writing fiction, poetry, or essays, her vision of being in the world is impregnated by the notion of inseparability between the tangible and the invisible. She would die without avocado, Borges, and Audre Lorde. alannalockward(at)gmail.com
