Guerrilla Exegesis is a knowledge exchange, personal library, and research index, comprising around 2000 books, catalogues, magazines, and pieces of printed matter.

The project uses are.na boards and research timelines to circulate and annotate printed and digital materials organized around recurring themes and questions.
(This is a daily work in progress and you’ll find some pages lacking more than others as I work my way through them.)

The collection spans many genres, but has a particular focus on Islamic, Jewish, and Christian Art History, Black Theology, Religious Folk Art, and Religious History, informed by a Black, queer, and trans perspective that approaches religion as a cultural and art historical formation. In addition to the library, I regularly visit religious and spiritually significant sites and artworks and record ephemera from around the world.
