ELI NIXON

Eli Nixon builds portals and gives guided tours to places that don’t yet exist.

Eli is a concoctor of low-tech public spectaculah. They are a settler-descended transqueer clown, a cardboard constructionist, and a maker of plays, puppets, pageants, parades, drawings, suitcase theaters, and primordial interventions.

Eli collaborates with artists, activists, schools, mental health and recovery centers, libraries and the more-than-human world to expand imaginative capacity and build muscles for collective liberation. Eli is proposing a new holiday in homage to horseshoe crabs- everyone is invited! This ancient and emergent holiday is a way to festively engage with movements for abolition, reparations, and multispecies justice.
