Catching On Thieves is a multimedia artist who creates to both understand what is to be & to stay alive. She writes of spies & prophets, Y2K conspiracies & the relationship between abstraction, perception & interoception, using her body as a question mark meant to disturb our assumptions about what we say we know about what we are. Titles of her recent works include: "Catching on The Nose," "Memory, Vein," "Mulata She-male Gets it From All Sides," & "Not One & Simple, or, What Would James Baldwin Do?" Resident at the Queer Materials Lab, Translab, The Performance Intensive, PAPA, PAAFF, & Session 9 of the Raw Materials Academie hosted at the ICA. She is one of the QAM fellows being mentored by filmmaker Lilly Wachowski & is currently an MFA student at the University of Pennsylvania.
