Hi my name is Saysah (sometimes Yas)

I live on the stolen land of Turtle Island, on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ, Wendake-Nionwentsïo, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, which is Treaty 13 territory. This is land of Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island since time immemorial.

I recognize the continuous impact of colonization globally - I honour the living ancestors who have been violently impacted by the Euro- expansionist global project of anti-Blackness.

I am always in solidarity with land defenders and water protectors; Black and Indigenous freedom fighters.

I am a person who is trying to be in right relationship with this body, land and community.

I am a multidisciplinary and multisensorial artist. I am tangled and (un)becoming.

I am always decoloniz(ing). I am divinely guided as a learner and maker.

Beyond that, I am centring a practice of reflection, care, and emergence in the embodiment of my work.
