Amir Hall spent five years in Amherst College learning to write. Along with outstanding penmanship, he also developed an affinity for cross-genre writing and performance. Amir realized his dreams of American suburbia pretty early in life, training for a year in costume and set construction and design for theater, as Amherst College’s Design Fellow. Since then, he has dedicated himself to independent art-making and research. Multi-talented and indecisive, he writes, performs, models, sings among other things. His performance art has been seen in Trinidad, Nigeria and in the US. He has recently begun writing publicly, mostly on his blog while his work also appears in the Irin Journal and Okayafrica.com
