Rooted in solidarity, interdisciplinary exploration, movement, and cultural connection, Shivas artistic vision is to amplify voices, build bridges, and inspires transformative experiences. As an ongoing movement researcher, Shiva connects social work with somatics, rituals and other creative expressions, exploring the intersection of embodied practices, social justice and collective liberation.
As a queer Person of Color, their lived experiences deeply inform their practice and foster a strong commitment to decolonial and intersectional approaches to ensure it does not reproduce discrimination but instead offers safer and braver spaces for marginalized bodies.
