Denatured


2023
Promotional videos

For the New Media Artspace Winter 2023 docent pop-up exhibition, Denatured

Made using Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Denatured is a group exhibition that I assisted in curating and creating promotional content for.
Denatured dissects the composition of nature and humanity. At their intersection, nature, and humanity are malleable, mutating and melding as they are broken down and reconstructed. Nature borrows traits from humans; humans take assets from nature; and somewhere in between, in the space left by unequal exchanges, something "other" evolves.

Unpost This. Reshare This.


2022
Instagram Reels

Call to action and promotional videos for the New Media Artspace Spring 2022 docent pop-up exhibition, Unpost This. Reshare This.

Made using Adobe Premiere Pro/Rush.

I worked on creating Unpost This. Reshare This. with other docents of the New Media Artspace. The goal was to bring attention to the voices of marginalized communities at Baruch College. As students at Baruch, we’d seen casual racism and a lack of support for marginalized communities run through every level of the community: students, faculty, and staff. In an effort to replace airy diversity initiatives with concrete solutions from students, for students, we wrote a diversity proposal and to connect our proposed solutions with the lived experience of the community, we started reaching out on social media. Responses we collected were compiled into two zines, Unpost This, and Reshare This, each backed with our proposal.
