Silkscreen and protest art workshops, digital design
Series of youth-focused screenprinting and protest art making spaces. We used designs by beitsittimedia and Nila Devaney to print posters to hang in our windows and hold up at for protests.
Voices of the unhoused
2020, with Donna Oblongata
Hand drawn and digitally edited portraits, interviews, zine, wheat paste
Donna and I teamed up to address an issue facing the residents of the encampment that sprung up in central Philadelphia in the summer of 2020: press, though covering the encampment closely, never bothered to amplify the stories of its residents. Donna interviewed residents while I drew their portraits; their stories were then printed and disseminated across the encampment and the city. Images and documentation are accessible on Donna’s website here.
palestine solidarity
2023 - ongoing, with Jewish Voice for Peace and others
Protest art, mutual aid network
Artwork created in support of Palestinian liberation. This includes creation of new pieces and activation of existing ones. I did not make the John Fetterman puppet - I assembled it and activated it at a protest with a crew of puppeteers.
