Ey laba! It's the LEDET Newsletter

I’ve been thinking about selection.

Who gets seen. Who gets supported. Who gets asked to continue.

And what happens to everyone else.

The piece I’m working on now keeps circling this . Not as an abstract idea, but as a structure.

An environment where artists aren’t just presenting work, but being evaluated in real time. Where the line between opportunity and extraction starts to blur.

It feels uncomfortably close to reality.

In the meantime, I’ve been revisiting L.O.V.E/L.A.S.K.O it's a much quieter entry point into the same world. Exploring the unclear connections of life and all of it's complexities.

I’m interested in building a body of work where each piece speaks to the others. Not directly, but through shared pressure points.

Performance, intimacy, liminal connection.

If you’re here, you’re part of that process already!

I’ll be sharing more as explore this newsletter world. Keep following for occasional updates.
