Meet the Artist

After a double lung transplant in 2019, Kadazia (thankfully) carried on with their life wanting more than just their next breath. Being a Black, queer, disabled, non-binary womxn has made that difficult but Kadazia’s life up to then and after has never been described as easy.

Here for a good time and possibly not a long time, Kadazia is determined to leave a legacy that speaks to the healing powers and necessity of love and creativity working in tandem. This has led to their work being accepted into gallery shows and film festivals, to them teaching art classes consistently for five years, and to open and honest blog posts about this life they lead.

A life where tears and laughter match each other bar for bar.

A life where loving and being loved has always been a top priority.

A life where the ability to make things is as essential as the ability to breathe.

Kadazia documents their life using every art medium they can, to prove to themself that alongside the very real everyday struggles they have faced and still face, this life has been one worth living.
