I am an artist and activator who generates site-specific, action-oriented projects that invite participation of neighbors and strangers. Using cardio, comedy and cooking to connect audiences I have sought to create opportunities for improvisational community collaboration - often those underserved and overlooked by mainstream media. Recent projects include the activist processional “LES Citizens Parade” which activates migrant communities with parade floats made of moving boxes and “Silver Sirens,” a cheerleading squad of senior citizens that champions healthcare, gender and age discrimination. As the Public Artist in Residence (PAIR) with the NYC Department for the aging (DFTA), I strive to deepen our understanding of social isolation and to re-imagine gatherings as intergenerational connective spaces that transcend technology and pandemics.
