If experimental wasn’t marginalized and diminished, I would have no problem being called experimental.

More quotes by Ja'Tovia Gary

Using what you have to make what you want, I’m obsessed with the notion that the idea of the thing outweighs the materials.

I feel like that’s very much a bedrock for a lot of the work that I do now.

I wanted to be in charge of directing the story, creating the narrative. It was very much about snatching that bag.

It’s not about being exclusionary, it’s about centring who I believe are the most vulnerable people in society. The people who are my reflections.

When you’re in a BFA program, it’s like, ‘we’ve got to go hardcore realism,’ and either you’re going to be a slave, or you’re going to be a cook.
