nicholas b jacobsen (they/them)

In this episode, we interview nicholas b jacobsen. We talk about an interaction with a cop that put them back in the closet for another decade, how they became an activist, and how colonialism, white supremacy, and Mormonism are tied together.

As a creative historian, culture critic, & visual artist, their work addresses their personal and ancestral connections to the U.S. & Mormon settler-colonial-imperialist project. Through this, they work to disassimilate from the myths of white-supremacy and settler-innocence central to Mormon & U.S. cultures.  jacobsen completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in Art & Ecology at the University of New Mexico & a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics from Southern Utah University.
