This in an ongoing project that I began conducting to present at the Five-College Film and Media Studies Conference at Smith College, though I hope to continue it elsewhere as well. For this project, I have received and continue to solicit submissions on marginalized people's (especially queer and trans* activists') experiences of accountability and disposability politics as they play out on social media. I presented a particular case study at the conference. This project is part of my ongoing work on the politics of safety, precarity in the context of marginalized communities, and the fraught issue of transformative justice in response to abuse.

I conducted this project for the Trans Symposium at Hampshire College. I undertook a survey of perspectives on transformative justice and community accountability in response to abuse, as experienced by queer and trans(*) people of colour in Western Massachusetts. I then synthesized the responses and creative interpretations into paper collages, which I exhibited at the symposium. These collages can be viewed at the above link. At the symposium, I also had an open-format time period available for discussion of the issues presented in this project.

This is a self-published project that addresses the complex theoretical, personal, political, practical, intersectional and ethical issues involved in attempting to create 'safe spaces' for marginalized people. Much of my undergraduate academic focus was devoted to this topic, culminating in an independent study I took with Professor Karen Remmler at Mount Holyoke College in Spring 2016. I also presented an introduction of this project at the Senior Symposium in April 2016.

This is a self-published project my classmates and I compiled for our class, Feminist & Queer Disability Politics, with Professor Eli Vitulli at Mount Holyoke College, in Spring 2016. It consists of poetry and multimedia work addressing intersecting themes of trauma, sexuality, and disability. My specific works that appeared in this project are listed as follows.

I conducted this project for the second iteration of the annual Five-College Disability Studies Conference at Smith College. I undertook a survey of perspectives on alienation and isolation experienced by disabled and neurodivergent people in Western Massachusetts. I then exhibited the responses in poster format at the conference. As a creative extension, I also made paper collages to accentuate the posters. Both collages and responses are available at the above link. At the conference, I also led a peer-based group discussion on the relevant issues, in which many important activist and general perspectives were represented.

I did an interview with Blythe P. Newton-Haynes about my relationship with disability and fashion. She also photographed me. Mine and other interviews/photographs were showcased in posters at this conference.

This project consisted of the stories of many USAmerican women's experiences with mental illness. My part involved video montages of myself juxtaposed with audio performances of (parts of) my poems.

This is a self-published project I compiled for my class, Dynamics of Displacement, with Professor Jill Lewis at Hampshire College, in Spring 2013. It consists of family's and friends' stories, as well as my own.

I used a pseudonym, areyana, for this publication.

My paintings were included with poems of the same titles in an exhibition of artwork by students at Oakridge at Kalakriti Art Gallery in Hyderabad. Later, I also had another exhibition of my artwork at Oakridge for my International Baccalaureate (IB) Visual Arts final exam.

I performed a poem that won the 2nd Prize for Poetry in this poetry festival.
