bio:
-
leiya (b.1995, year of the wood boar)
- japanese-ghanaian
- i call myself “the fickle writer” to celebrate a way of being that is ruled by transience and interstiality
about me:
- i design and facilitate horizontal learning spaces that explore creativity in the 21st century, communal phiosophies, the generative capacties of play and imagination, and the intersection of technology, embodiment, and alternative ways of knowing.
- when i am not teaching, i am usually writing creative non-fiction, short stories and screenplays.
- my professional history has been a fickle one, but i have meandered many-a-rivers in the creative industry: podcast production, commercial screenwriting, film/tv production, creative strategy and content production.
- i host a monthly radio show and occassional food-related pop ups with my partner around the tokyo metropolitan area
interests:
- engaging with and living inside media, technology, and sociopolitical structures, then reporting back the embodied experience;
- the blurred boundaries between digital and physical, artificial and natural, individual and collective consciousness
- knowledge accessibility and community theory-building
- everyday life as a site for discovery
- contemplative practice
- public pedagogy
- imagination as activism
