My performance engages in recalling memories and stories of the past and of my Persian-Jewish culture that have shaped me and my perceptions of the world. In doing so, my experiences empower and serve as a protest to the nature of racial capitalism, while emphasizing the lack of understanding and healing that comes with the presence of social injustice.
BIO
My name is Kayla. I am a first- generation Iranian American with an inspiration to create difference through awareness, multimedia art, and consciousness. I love learning about how I can produce works that carry relation to social, political, environmental, and cultural activism and other topics surrounding theory and enlightenment throughout the rest of my time here at UCLA.
