Melissa Fox

BA in Art and Psychology

Rooted in conversations surrounding identity, representation, and social justice, the core principle of my practice revolves around intersectionality; delving into the experiences of individuals navigating multiple identities and oppressions. I’ve expanded my focus to examine neoliberalism within the diaspora, addressing tokenism through the lens of comedy, aiming to present a nuanced perspective on the lived experiences of diasporic individuals. This involves a careful blend of themes, including neoliberal influences, ethnic markets, and the intricate concept of home. My intention is to contribute to ongoing critical discussions surrounding power, privilege, and social structures, providing a thoughtful exploration of multifaceted diasporic experiences.
