Tanuja Devi Jagernauth (she/her) is an Indo-Caribbean PIC abolitionist, writer, theater maker, and yoga educator who believes in the necessity of creation during times of destruction. She is an In/House Artist-in-Residence with Free Street Theater and the co-facilitator of Understory, a biweekly virtual space for activists and organizers to gather and contemplate that which they hold sacred. Her writing practice is inspired by healing justice, caste abolition, and PIC abolition.
Tanuja employs comedy, magical realism, the fantastic, and the absurd to raise questions about how we live, heal, and fight back against the prisons, police, and various oppressions that occupy our bodies, hearts, minds, and communities. Tanuja’s zine, Healing Justice & Our Call to Practice is published by Sojourners for Justice Press and is now available at Haymarket Books.
