Neyat Yohannes

Neyat Yohannes is a writer and researcher based in Los Angeles. She covers visual art, film, tv, music, books, and pop culture via an intersectional lens. She also contributes exhibition texts, catalog essays, and print/web copy for various arts spaces. Her writing has been supported by residencies with The Black Embodiments Studio and Momus. Her personal practice is rooted in memory work and uses tools like critical fabulation to fill the gaps in narratives that haven’t prevailed in the public consciousness. At the moment, she’s working on a speculative account of Eritrea’s post-independence, 1980s diaspora and its eventual social dissolution.
