James Parnell is a Hague-based curator, facilitator, dancer, and zinester who focuses on community building, collective learning, and the conflicts that arise in these practices. He often works in cultures and artistic communities on the margins, such as queer communities, Black communities, and independent publishers.
James has been involved in institutional and community-based projects, including the WORM Pirate Bay, BARTALK, PLAYGROUND, and the Black Trans Art and Joy Fund. He uses teaching and knowledge sharing as community-building practices and to explore how we connect with each other.
