Amelia Groom
Amelia Groom is a writer whose work has often been concerned with time: its undercurrents, its blockages and trickling detours, and the possibilities for its re-routing.
Groom has taught at the Sandberg Instituut since 2014, and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry in Berlin from 2018 to 2020, as part of the “environs” research focus. Groom’s book Beverly Buchanan: Marsh Ruins (2021) was published by Afterall. Recent essays have been on Mariah Carey and the refusal of linear time; Scheherazade and “oblique parrhesia”; and the importance of cats in the art and antifascist activism of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore.
