Elizabeth Salaam
Cooler Room Artist in Residence

​I love you (I’m sorry) is an installation project involving large-scale handwritten stories and live writing performance centered around the act of breaking of silence and exposing secrets. Salaam uses the fragile and disposable properties of paper to pose questions about how we determine which stories matter, and how we honor the ones that do.

About the Artist:

Elizabeth Salaam is a San Diego-based writer, storyteller, and multi-disciplinary artist. Salaam’s work takes the form of personal narratives, installation, performance, and sculpture, all of which she uses to make sense of conflicting interior and exterior realities. Through these multiple media, she tackles issues from her own experience which encompasses all the things: cultural isolation, sexual abuse, addiction, and racism. In 2020, she expanded her decades-long writing practice to include performance and visual media. Salaam presented this work as her first solo exhibition Write or Die at You Belong Here, which was featured on the Uninterrupted and Beautiful radio show and on San Diego’s KPBS. She was also a speaker at the 2020 TEDx Conference at University of California San Diego and an artist-in-residence at Island Farm Press.
