Bio
d’bi.young anitafrika is a queer nonbinary African-Xaymacan-Tkarontonian dub poet, monodramatist and Black feminist decolonial scholar. They are committed to embodying liberatory art practices that ritualise acts of emancipation from oppressions inflicted upon the people and the planet. The three-time Dora-award-winning Canadian Poet of Honour, author of twelve plays, seven albums, and four collections of poetry, was recently celebrated as a Global Leader in Theatre and Performance by Arts Council England and is the 2021 recipient of the Rosemary Sadlier Freedom Award. d’bi.young’s PhD research investigates how Black womxn theatre-makers in Canada, cultivate pedagogies of transformation through performance. Their doctoral thesis further develops the Anitafrika Method—the Black-queer-feminist decolonial performance framework that emerges out of the dub theory of Anita Stewart (d’bi.young’s mother).
