About your host
Melz is the Founder of the Free Black University. They are an activist that works in a number of spaces such as; Black Lives Matter UK, decolonising education, and trans visibility. They are a multifaceted artist and academic, and their work explores the radical Black imagination and building transformative worlds. Their passion is research and they will soon be taking up a PhD position at the University of Cambridge exploring new visions for our collective world, Melz takes this decolonial analysis forward into all aspects of their life and work.
Melz is able to fuse all of their passions into the work they do, they use various artforms and strategies to demonstrate and disrupt traditional Western approaches to knowledge production and validation. Melz’s work is influenced by their identity; being Black British, growing up in South East London, being a queer transgender person, and by the black women in their life.
