She is highly esteemed as an artist, video maker, scholar, and philosopher that is based between Brazil and Canada. Denise is both a professor and the Director of the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia. In 2022, Denise released her study the ‘Unpayable Debt’, a philosophical inquiry into the relationships between coloniality, raciality, and global capital from a black feminist “poethical” perspective.

Could tears displace total extraction?… Remembering that to be tender is to soften like supple grass, and to attend to is to care for, to serve. Serving, we know is the opposite of slavery just as violence dissolves with care.” - SOOT BREATH / CORPUS INFINITUM (2020) by Denise Ferreira da Silva and Arjuna Neuman.

A mock up of one of the spread for my according/concertina book I’ve been working on. My current project has been around social narratives and I’ve been a bit brave sharing a little of my personal self in the work by reflecting on becoming a new parent in the pandemic. • • • My evenings have been so hectic but it’s getting there! • • #illustration #socialnarratives #projects #masters #ma #work #personalreflections #wearingmyheartonmysleeve #pandemicbaby #pandemicparenting #parenthood #leapoffaithwithmyself #seizetheopportunity #tenacityiseverything #workinghard #sharingstories #procrete #printing #picturebooks #graphicnovels #digitalillustration #blockcolours #textures #gritty #viruses #homelife (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSobSi1oZ3I/?utm_medium=tumblr

A year ago I was working on a concertina book that told the experiences of pregnancy, labour and after during the pandemic in a montage format -called “Pandemic Parenthood”. In the narrative I share my own experiences through a labour in an abstract way, I was and still experience birth trauma around the labour. This week is also #birthtraumaawarenessweek @birth_trauma_association_uk I was speaking with a young mother yesterday who also experienced birth trauma which made me remember the importance of why I wanted to tell my own part of a story I was also struggling with. • So often during the pandemic I was often reminded that my little one will luckily have no memories of an uncertain time. - “however the parents do”. This is just to bring to light the awareness around mental health around these times, especially to those new parents or parents who have just welcomed a little one into the world. Even outside of a pandemic scenario parenthood can be hard. A reminder to be kind and supportive 🌸🌸🌸 • I kinda wished I approached this story to be more official outside of the project it was for, I can see the importance of us being able to have the space to share our stories 💜 I’m not an expert, but if anyone every wants a safe space to share their story, I am here to just listen 💙 • • #pandemicparenting #pandemicparenthood #newparents #birthtrauma #labour #birth #birthandbeyond #illustration #socialnarrative #experiences #wellbeing #health #newmums #mentalhealth #mindfullness #throwback #memories #sharingstories #bekind #supportive #montage #concertina #books #creativebookstagram #graphicnovels (at Wimbledon, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgO54cBIUkG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Close up details from my little book I’ve been working on for my socially driven Narrative brief. I felt a bit overwhelming tapping into own experiences 😅 I almost didn’t do it but has felt quite transformative to digest the last 18months, like this project I am putting a close to the experiences I had by sharing a story. • • Something that’s been often said to me is that, “a child won’t remember their first year” However me and Kyle as parents will never forget it, we will remember. As first time parents we have nothing to compare to, somethings maybe typical around brining a little person into the world, pandemic or not. I’m realising regardless that it’s all valid to feel the struggles that surround these times. So I am sending love to all those parents that have found it harder during these times, which is the purpose of me sharing my story ✌️ • • #pandemicbaby #pandemicparenting #narrative #sharedexperiences #stories #book #illustration #socialnarrative #emotive #baby #father #hug #embraces #birthstories #newparents #strangetimes #movingon #lettinggo #growing #strong #family #transformation #growthroughwhatyougothrough #moments #memories #seizetheopportunityindifficulties (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS9PUPBoejT/?utm_medium=tumblr
