Jennifer Ligaya Senecal

Jennifer Ligaya Senecal is an AfroPinay sound, movement, and performance practitioner with an interdisciplinary background in visual art, vocal performance, dance, and theater. Mother to a Scorpio son and full time PhD student of Performance Studies at Northwestern University, her original work includes solo and collaborative performance compositions and sound installations. A sponsored artist, grant recipient, commissioned multimedia artist, and member of Honey Pot Performance, her current creative practice explores Afro-Asian Diasporic womanist subjectivities through the expressive arts, indigenous healing and survivance practices, and the cultural genealogies of anticolonial spiritual-political resistance. In an attempt to express the affective impact of the sacred and political on notions of wellness, this visual project will respond to key questions generated through a series of self-directed exercises and prompts. Through the Pritzker Pucker Studio Lab, Ligaya hopes to locate the world that sits at the intersections of mental health, spirituality, and activism as a pathway to multiple modes of personal liberation.
