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.

BUTT PLUGS AGAINST GAS DRILLING! BLACK HOLES MATTER! Amelia Groom interviews art collective Yangamini on the meaning of holes, sexuality, and extractive violence on indigenous lands. Queer and Anti-Colonial Gardening: A Syllabus by M. Ty offers a rooted invitation to unlearn colonial ecologies through dispersed, non-normative gardening practices. Together, these contributions offer readers critical tools and imaginative propositions for rethinking how space, bodies, and resistance are entangled.
