Meet Malavika, 2023 IDA Fellow ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Malavika Kannan is a junior double-majoring in Comparative Literature and CSRE with a minor in Creative Writing. She is a novelist, comic artist, and journalist who seeks inspiration and community in the art practices of other q***r people of color. Her coming-of-age novel, ALL THE YELLOW SUNS, will release from Little & Brown in July 2023, and her writing appears in Teen Vogue, Washington Post, and elsewhere. Malavika is particularly interested in practices of healing, abolition, and transformation for South Asian women, and uses cartoon art / graphic storytelling to process the pain, complexity, and even (sometimes!) humor of that experience. Through IDA she is excited and grateful to begin her journey as a visual artist.

Meet Isabella, 2023 IDA Thesis Fellow
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Isabella is a senior majoring in CSRE with an IDA concentration. Their thesis looks at how model minority racialization & proximity to whiteness differently affect parents and children in Viet American families, and how those different perspectives manifest in conflict. Exploring intergenerational trauma and conflict, climate and social change-- the work including short stories and scholarship, pushes back against the complicity of systems of violence affecting Vietnam and movements for social change.

Meet Katie, 2023 IDA Fellow ✨

Katie Han is a multidisciplinary artist majoring in Design and minoring in Psychology and Art. Combining these disciplines, she enjoys creating imagery, objects, and spaces that encourage contemplation, healing, and reflection. Her interests in psychology and art intersect; she finds that both domains drive interactions between our internal and external worlds. Although photography is her primary medium, Katie incorporates painting, installation art, jewelry design, and illustration in her work. Her IDA project explores themes of intergenerational ties, the complexity of memory, and the universal drive to create.

Meet Jasmin, IDA Undergraduate Fellow! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jasmin is a 2020 transfer student majoring in Science, Technology, and Society. She is a visual artist and poet who hopes to spend her time with IDA exploring the historical and present dynamics of scientific and medical racism. Through her work, she aims to prod assumptions about Black identity and humanity that have been shape-shifting and manifesting in multiple generations of scientific lore. She desires to construct visual and verbal subjects who, through conversation with and confrontation of scientific understandings, assert their own agency and humanity.

Meet Santiago, IDA Undergraduate Fellow & Co-Chair! ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Santiago (he/him) was born and raised on the outskirts of East Los Angeles, California, where he was cultivated by a strong sense of family pride, emerging from two resilient, undocumented parents, and a fundamental sense of ancestral identity. Through mixed media paintings, Santiago embodies delicate themes of generational trauma and the desperate need for coping mechanisms amidst harsh realities. Simultaneously, he finds remedy within his own community and understands the need to inspire healing by recognizing the interdependence between individuals, generations, and shared histories. Ultimately, Santiago seeks to explore the innate irony of becoming victims of colonial-rooted, systemic-funded cycles of oppression, whilst holding the most impact on the cycles themselves.
