J. Mae Barizo Was Awarded a 2024 MAP Fund Grant for her Project, Sihǐl

J. Mae Barizo (Faculty) was awarded a 2024 MAP Fund grant for Sihǐl, a hybrid cuicatl project with composer J.E. Hernandez which illuminates the often-overlooked Indigenous pre-Hispanic roots of Mexican culture, focusing on the visceral, maternal bond and its cultural implications.

J. Mae Barizo is a poet, essayist and multidisciplinary artist who works at the intersection of poetics, performance and decoloniality. She is the author of two books of poetry, Tender Machines (Tupelo Press, 2023) and The Cumulus Effect (Four Way Books, 2015). Pink Noise, a book of hybrid essays on John Cage and the poetics of sound was a finalist for the Graywolf Nonfiction Prize and the 2023 Megaphone Prize. Her work has been anthologized in books published by W.W. Norton, Atelier Editions and Harvard University Press.
