Summer 2020: I worked with Chloe Chapin, Christianne Myers, Sydney Marcesa and Chris Muller on creating a Costume Pedagogy symposium called Redressing the Narrative. This was to be hosted at Hunter College before COVID hit. I spoke about the importance of decolonizing the costume/fashion syllabus. Here is a great write up by Michelle Souza in Howlround that discusses the work we did, and my decolonial contribution. https://howlround.com/revolutionary-costume-pedagogy
2018: New York Times' Alaistair Macaulay writes about Deeps' design for Kiran Rajagopalan's "Dualities of Dance" performance for Drive East 2018 where he portrays Goddesses.
" Kiran Rajagopalan not only performed his recital in female dress but also, in his second number, combined Indian style with Yoruba elements from West Africa."
