ME!!! Work in progress
Rebecca Matson. I use she/her/they pronouns. I support Bi-Poc and Indignous People. I am an Ally. Disabled and activist in accessibility.
​
I reside in Alachua County, and gratefully acknowledge the many individuals who lived on this land for thousands of years before me. I live on the original homeland of the Timucua, Potano, Muscogee, and Seminole peoples. I inhabit a space where many enslaved and Indigenous peoples lived- who exist nameless to me due to violent systems that stripped them of identity and history. My dwelling is a dwelling of many people before and after me. I live within systems that ecologically damages the earth. I dedicate my life time to work against the systems of oppression that damages all beings who live on this land with and around me.
I am working on contending expressing who I am. Below is a list of where my art has been displayed, and information about my education.
