Talia Molé

Talia Molé believes in the artist as a rebellious and revolutionary teacher whose purpose is to disrupt the status quo inspiring conversations that lead to greater questioning and awakening within a communal body. As an artist, she has dedicated her time to understanding social change through different social spaces and disciplines within academia and beyond. She moulded and polished her role as an activist/scholar with the help of a B.F.A. in Theatre Performance, an M.S. in Counselling, and a PhD in Anthropology and Social Change. Her field of research and exploration revolves around motherhood and its myriad expressions within marginalized populations. She uses art (theatre, poetry, images, movement, music) and counselling techniques, along with traditional techniques such as storytelling, meditation, yoga, and tarot to facilitate difficult conversations while creating space for healing and creative exchange within and for communities in resistance. Her greatest goal is to continue using her artistry, specifically through theatre, poetry, and storytelling as a process of learning and (un)learning that disrupts systems of oppression, questions, creates aesthetic platforms that inspire community, collaborative imagining, and revolutions.
