Monica Tolia (she/they) is a London-based visual artist, performer & organiser. Monica’s research is rooted in the communal, movement, and spiritual practices related to their heritage, informing their approach to decoloniality through collective-building, collaboration and symbiotic healing across human and more-than-human worlds. They create sensory performances and event-based contexts that offer cathartic counter-expressions to historical and contemporary Eurocentric narratives, media and technological affects felt at the intersection of diaspora and racial identity, class structures and disability. Since 2021, they are co-founder of the ESEA diaspora collective ‘Have you eaten yet?’, organising performance-based events on the intersections of food, migration, art/activism & creating affectionate space. ***I am an artist with invisible disabilities.
