Biography

Stephanie Sawah (she/her) is a Master’s student in the Women and Gender Studies Institute at the University of Toronto. She is interested in how Indo-Guyanese queers are using art to reimagine new worlds, new possibilities, and new paradigms. Her work draws on queer of colour critique, Caribbean and transnational feminisms, and radical Black anticolonial intellectual traditions. She seeks to disrupt disciplinary boundaries in an effort to produce new knowledges from the perspective of those at the margins.
