Bad Bitch Link Up: Our research group consists of four anti-disciplinary artists and scholars navigating refusal across mediums and fields of study both within and without the academy. Together, we aim to highlight enduring lineages of refusal while attending to contemporary moves towards redress and reparative justice. We’re inspired by the sustenance of the quotidian, the exponential facts of Blackness, and the ancient futures of non-colonialism, which all undergird our refusals and calls for UBI & reparations. All members are graduates from UCLA:
