Dacia Green is a multimedia artist, performer, Floridian, and child of the African diaspora. As a graduate from Williams College with an Honors B.A. in Women's, Gender, and Sexualities Studies and Africana Studies, Dacia relies heavily on the audio-visual form to repair and disrupt the intricate intersections of identity. At Williams, Dacia published an audio-visual zine entitled Our Home Will Be Underwater By 2040.
Tormented by the question: “What does it mean to exist in a place that will cease to exist in my lifetime?”, Dacia Green, in alliance with (F)empower, uses (F)empower's queer and intersectional lens on environmental politics to offer a site for a queer reimagining of South Florida’s history; a history saturated in colonialism, settlerism, gentrification, and violence.
We are thrilled to have Dacia join us for episode three of the Good Folk podcast, where we delve into their work documenting coastal climate change and the organizations taking creative approaches to acknowledge it. We also discuss the complicated history of the region and the unique role of Florida in the Southeastern landscape.
