steve núñez (he/him/they)

i am an educator, photographer, and storyteller from the #9dime, the Port city — Wilmington, nc.

I hold a master of theological studies in religion, ethics, and politics from harvard divinity school and i am currently a 4th year phd student in philosophy researching africana philosophy, Social & Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Racism, Existential Phenomenology, Philosophy of Education & Pedagogy, Gender & Sexuality, and Carceral & Abolition Studies at the university of connecticut. my dissertation project surrounds the politics and ethics of revolutionary counter-violence through the philosophical thought of david walker and Frantz Fanon. 

My photographic journey involves playing in shadow and light to explore the infinite, the infinitesimal, and our position in the liminal space between the gorgeous and grotesque. I seek to utilize Divinity school training, philosophical thought, and artistic gifts of astro-, landscape-, macro, and portrait photography to tell stories about spirituality, existence, and hope.

i look to synthesize theory and praxis through public facing engagement using the written word, photography, and cinematography to raise awareness, to organize socio-political support for abolition of the prison-industrial complex, as well as to practice, promote, and  pursue reparatory Justice.
