Hello! My name is Yasmeen Nematt Alla and I am an artist and art worker in Tkaranto, Ontario. I work with alienated narratives from an interpreter’s perspective. As someone who lives between cultures, I decipher language barriers attached to alienation and otherness. I wonder how the translation of language, experiences, and visuals intertwine with care, grief, and community building. Much of my experience lies in creating communications that are rooted in accessibility, anti-racist and anti-colonial narratives. I ask myself and the organizations I work with: How do we tell stories that allow people to feel seen and cared for? How do we gently advocate for ourselves and others? How can social media curation, website design, and online communications as a whole become tools of revolution?
