I am an interdisciplinary artist, theorist, writer, curator and educator. My art practice incorporates performance, public and site specific interventions, installation, textiles, video, photography and protest tactics to explore the construction and performance of identity and subjectivity often enacted in response to attempts at erasure and elision with a focus on contemporary Jewish identity formations. Inspired by the work of philosophers Emmanuel Levinas, Trinh T. Minh Ha, Judith Butler and Amelia Jones, my work considers subjectivity to be contingent on the Other, and engages various contested and shifting positions of otherness inside and outside of Jewish identity. My practice also explores the intersections of personal/family memory and collective/cultural history. Because history is contested and constructed, my work also examines the ways in which history is inscribed into memory, a process that involves the privileging of certain histories over others. Much of my recent work seeks to revive, reclaim and re-present marginalized, ignored, and underrepresented histories and subjectivities in art, culture and politics.
