Explorations
of Liminality

Romila is a grief worker and artist working with liminality to navigate times of crisis and chaos, explore alternative futures and doula old systems.

Their work is informed by grief, queerness, madness, mysticism, diaspora and other ways of being in deep relationship to the invisible, non-linear, and in-between. Using anti-disciplinary practices like spellmaking, counter-archiving, and rhythmic realm-building, they develop rituals to gather in experimental, non-conforming and disobedient ways to map possible routes towards collective liberation.

Child of a dream interpreter, great-grandchild of birthing doulas, Romila carries the gifts of intuition, groundedness and future-telling from their kejawen roots from the island of Java and Zoroastrian lineage from Mazar-e-sharif. They are based on territories of Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-waututh Nations and currently completing a Masters in Contemplative Inquiry & Approaches in Education at Simon Fraser University.
