Nicole on Multicentricity and Community

Nicole uses her work to explore how “might these opportunities of improvisation allow us opportunities to go into these places and explore” positive outcomes, a place where “redemptive possibilities” create possibilities for coalition

She feels limited by identity politics and the script that exists around who can and cannot claim particular cultures and communities. She is really interested in the idea of selective transgression as a place to find solidarity. 

For Nicole, a transcultural approach of open boundaries provides opportunities to rethink identity as “multicentric.”1

Her discussion of “redemptive possibilities” and “multicentricity” all lead her to talk about her understanding of community, belonging, and the politics of identity and embodiment.
