COMMISSIONS
I write on commission for artists, designers and cultural organisations. My work includes co-authored books and artist publications, academic writing, and texts for live performance. For STUDIO WRTMN, I wrote spoken word pieces performed at their collection debut at Amsterdam Fashion Week.
If you’re working on a book, exhibition text, performance piece or something harder to define, email me at akival5@hotmail.com.
“A mind-bending journey of violent self-discovery, dark temptations, grief, and catharsis, documented over one year in a series of iPhone notes”.
“The Traces Left is a quiet search for closeness in a fractured world. Nostalgia becomes a way not to escape, but rather to remember and connect. An invitation to pause, feel, and take a breath of life”.
