So excited to share my interview with Adam Alston on the Staging Decadence blog — now live! 👁️🩸
We spoke about @may.kway , my bloodied, lip-syncing vase ghost, and the tangled threads of decadence, orientalism, freakery, and diasporic hauntings that shaped her.
We talked failure, entrails, spectacle, and what it means to fall apart in front of an audience that might never fully understand you, and why that’s okay.
🥀🏺Swipe through for a few excerpts, and read the full piece via the link in my bio.
Thank you to Adam and Staging Decadence for holding space for ghosts, contradictions, and glittering collapse! ✨
