I am interested in the ways imperial border regimes are produced, experienced, and contested. I use performance, field research and video to trace local geographies of global racial finance, following patterns of flow that link warehouse districts, weapons manufacturing sites, detention centers, petroleum supply chains, property speculation, financial rituals and technocratic forms. Most days you can find me organizing in border abolition and migrant solidarity struggles. Collective subversion of colonial borders and direct mutual aid are some of the practices I have longstanding commitments to. I teach and learn in social centers, squats, refugee camps and in the streets.  I am Romanian, currently based in Chicago where I live with my awesome kid.
