Writer/Director Aquarius Ester is an experimental/Afro-Surrealist artist from the Roseland/West Pullman neighborhood in Chicago. She is a mother. Her preferred mediums are writing, film and freestyle dance. Change is her passion. Healing ancestral trauma is her life path. Chicago is her home. Chicago is her family. Truth is her priority. Love is her lover. She appreciates the beauty in the eyes of her people. She is answering the voices of her ancestors. She is among thousands that are decolonizing this planet, cleansing this space for healthier life to come.
