JARDANA PEACOCK
Jardana Peacock is a white, queer, nonbinary, US southern-based writer with working class roots. Their life has been shaped by participating in social movements for over two decades. They strive to confront deep rooted oppression within and around them, while also creating beautiful art and liberatory spaces of healing and freedom.
They have been deeply shaped by the long history of the Black Liberation Movement, Appalachians working against mountaintop removal, indigenous communities stewarding natural resources for many generations to come, and with the Palestinian Solidarity Movement.
Their work searches for beauty and resilience inside of the violence of our history and human experience. They examine their own complicity in upholding oppression and call their spirit back* as they navigate ancestral healing, grief and find transformation in the natural world and through relationships.
*A term referencing Joy Harjo’s poem, For Calling the Spirit Back from Wandering the Earth in Its Human Feet
