Worldthreading Poetry Film Festival
On April 24th, my experimental film MATCHBOX will have a screening in Copenhagen at Husets Biograf movie theater during the Worldthreading Poetry Film Festival. This movie theater is the last cinema in Denmark that still screens Super 8, 16mm and 35mm films. It is run by an all-volunteer staff located in the center of downtown Copenhagen.
MATCHBOX will also join the permanent archive of the Poetic Phonotheque. A global archive in Sweden preserving and sharing contemporary poetry through voice, film, and print.
The Worldthreading Festival is hosted by award-winning poet Elizabeth Torres, who has been presenting the selected films in the Nordic countries of Denmark, Sweden and Finland. This year the festival is specially focused on films, and poetry films, which have a focus on diversity and representation, Afro-Nordic films, LatinX films, indigenous, BIPOC and QUEER projects.
Several organizations are participating as hosts, such as South.Nord in Sweden and Kirjan Talo in Finland. News and updates about the festival will be published via Red Door Magazine.

MARCH 2025
14 FESTIVAL DE FOTOGRAFIA DE TIRADENTES
Once again I have the opportunity to participate of an exhibition created by Ateliê Oriente @atelieoriente - a gallery and cultural hub for photography in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil led by @paulomarcosmlima e @kitty.paranagua .
The exhibition FOGO is a collaboration of @atelieoriente and curator Joaquim Paiva, and will be part of the 14th Festival de Fotografia de Tiradentes official program. The exhibit will be outdoors, occupying the gardens of the bustling Vila @fotoempauta, epicenter of the 14th Festival de Fotografia de Tiradentes from March 26 to 30, 2025 in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Governed by Iansã and Xangô, the orixá of lightning and fire, this exhibit invites us to reflect on fire as a force of nature, a cultural symbol, a metaphor for passions and transformations, and as an artistic inspiration. As Heraclitus, the philosopher of fire, said, “everything flows,” just like flames in constant movement.

WORDGATHERING: A JOUNAL ON DISABILITY POETRY, LITERATURE AND THE ARTS
I was invited by Artist Chanika Svetvilas to collaborate on a book review for Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature (ISSN: 2690-7089). This is a digital, open access journal of disability poetry, literature, and the arts by Syracuse University.
The article quickly expanded into a lively dialogue between me and Chanika Svetvilas, an interdisciplinary artist and visiting scholar at the Asian/Pacific/American Institute, New York University, an inspiring artist and friend.
Thanks to the generosity of Wordgathering’s editor-in-chief, Diane R. Wiener, our exchange was included in full on the latest issue of Wordgathering. Diane is the Founding Director of the Syracuse University Disability Cultural Center (2011-2018); She has published widely on disability, pedagogy, and empowerment, among other subjects. She is a proud Neuroqueer, Mad, Crip, Gender Nonconforming, Ashkenazic Jewish Hylozoist Nerd (etc.). Diane blogged for the Huffington Post between May 2016 and January 2018.
LATEST JOURNAL PUBLICATION
Here is a short excerpt of our Book Review for Curating Access: Disability Art Activism and Creative Accommodation (ed. Amanda Cachia). Published by Routledge. 2023. (ISBN 9780367775735)
“This book made me aware of my role in not only choosing the communities of care I want to participate in, but my role in the communities of care I am willing to create.
For so long, I was concerned about receiving access, but I am more excited about the possibility of generating access and no longer expecting an outside system to provide access for me and for others.”
