Teju Adisa-Farrar is a Jamaican-American writer, poet and geographer whose work centers on ecological resilience and cultural equity. She uses geography as an artistic and creative medium. Her work is interdisciplinary with a focus on connecting the dots, speculative geography, and human relationships to space, place and identity. She is interested in mapping and documenting Black (read: alternative / resilient / ecological) futures. Teju uses a transnational, uncolonial lens that is informed by culturally resonant moments. Her practice is research-based and integrative… participatory observation, conversation, listening and different ways of seeing / being. Teju’s work is multi-sensory, meaning she employs whichever senses can best negotiate and articulate what she’s trying to grasp or explore.
Teju took part in Residency 17, Climata developed with Lasse-Marc Riek and the Goethe Institut.
