Drawing from political markers, social choreographies and cultural mechanisms that marginalised people adopt to attain subjecthood in current colonial climates — my research theme questions the role of determined bodies in being negotiated between public and domestic spaces, cross analysing phenomenological and philosophical relations between these bodies and the architectures surrounding them; what can inhabit what? Focusing on nation states archetypes and policies unsightly shaping Black and marginalised quotidian experiences through architectural confinements that impose ideas of: what one is able know, where they can walk and how one should sound like? — for instance questions that mould one’s subjecthood and how much authority one has to the ontologies of their corporeality. Particularly investigating experiences in metropolitan cities such as Lisbon, Paris, London and Chicago on the scale in which Black diasporas report and share identical issues relating to epistemic racism, class segregation and premature death of Black men.
