Aisha Mirza is a writer, artist, musician, and community organizer living on a boat in East London. They use photo, text, sound, and sculpture to make work about madness as truth, anticapitalist technologies, and how to hold hands into the trans apocalypse. They are the creator of misery, a mental health arts community, decolonial nature programme, grief space, and sober club night which centers healing for queer and trans people of the Global Majority.

​

Aisha has been an off-grid boat dweller since 2021, and over the years has developed a very special interest in water memory, post-capitalist modes of survival, tracing colonial engineering paradigms, trans-ecology, and boat folklore. This became their WWWADING project, with tentacles in London, New York, and Karachi. WWWADING utilizes many modalities of their multidisciplinary art practice, such as the slow and intentional art of analogue photography to document the lives of fellow queer boaters of colour, field-recording-based sound art to create interspecies oral history soundscapes, and performance essay to reflect, expand, and contextualise how we arrived where we are, and what called us to water.
