IRIDESSENCE/Essence Walker

NMR is a shared space among academics, artists, and activists to highlight and discuss their work. The artist-in-residence is chosen each year to share their work with the journal’s readership. There work will be featured both in the print journal and on the website.

The North Meridian Review’s 2022 artist-in-residence is Iridessence/Essence Walker!

Iridessence /Essence Walker is a model, self-portrait, and performance artist based in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her work often features vintage, theatrical, and historical themes and marries them to radical self-love in a socio-political scape that marginalizes people of size and color.
