Deploying prose, epistolary form, and criticism, A Curious Vexation attempts to provide a supportive wreath for a theory of bi [racial/sexual] existence. Using Riverdale (The CW, 2017-2023) as the mechanism for this theory, ACV looks to start the forward motion towards a jurisprudence for the two most maligned binaries in the world to defend or destroy Loving V. Virginia and its accompaning miscegenate statutes. Lawmakers across the 5th and 11th circuit have openly called into question allowing Loving to stand, and Millennials are uniquely equipped to confront this particular strand of eschatological thinking. The container character within ACV exploits uniquely American catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina and recruitment to the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine trial – specifically recruited because of her bi [racial/sexual] identity – to further this vision.
I have presented different facets of my thesis thru lectures at Syracuse University and a solo exhibition at MIMO Gallery (NYC), and I continue to work around the Riverdale theory and publish sporadically at SERPENT QUEEN’S GAMBIT.
