Selena is a current student and Horace Mann fellow. They're also an interdisciplinary artist with a practice based in installation performance, written, and textile art. Their work focuses on themes of domesticity, femininity, queerness, familial heritage, and public confession/ritual. Selena was born in a brick house in St. Louis, Missouri and grew up unschooled in the city. They will receive a BA in Performance Art from Antioch College in fall 2017. Selena's recent work concerns itself with sentimentality, chronic illness, public vulnerability, and the storage and transference of trauma in the historical and specific queer-femme body. Selena is passionate about small-scale agriculture, poetry, fiber arts, and the color orange. In their free time, they enjoy knitting, making zines, and fermenting fruits and veggies.
