Ayanna Dozier

Portrait of Ayanna Dozier
Ayanna Dozier (PhD) is a Brooklyn-based artist-writer. Her art practice centers performance, experimental film, printmaking and photography, using auto-fiction, surrealist, conceptual, and feminist methods. Her research on film navigates the history of distribution, archaeology, and radical work of Black feminist experimental filmmakers. While her current research and artwork is dedicated to examining how transactional intimacy (like sex work) redistributes care from the private sector into the public, social politics of relations. She is currently an assistant professor in communication, emphasis in film, at University Massachusetts, Amherst and is the author of Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope (2020).

The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Aristilde Kirby reading.
