Cementerio del Barrio de los Lipanes
Consultant for Big Bend Conservation Alliance and Dr. Nakaya Flotte on the development of interpretive text for the Cementerio del Barrio de los Lipanes (Cemetery of the Lipan Neighborhood) — a sacred site to the Lipan Apache Tribe in Presidio, Texas.
The Ostracon
Created with support from a 2019 Arts Writers Grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation, The Ostracon was a collaborative project with writer and editor Paul Schmelzer. Together, we sought to elevate figures and ideas outside the mainstream of contemporary art—from public policy, indigenous rights, and folklore to community organizing, historic preservation, environmental science, journalism, and food justice—that may offer insight into new forms of making art that are more responsive, relevant, and connected to the way we live now as individuals and communities. Taking its name from the pottery shards used in ancient Athens when voting to ostracize community members, the project was created to celebrate voices from art’s periphery.
Art21 Magazine
As part of Art21’s array of programming designed to illuminate the creative process, the Art21 Magazine provided a space for insightful writing on contemporary art and artists.
The Art21 Magazine was founded in 2013, emerging from the Art21 Blog that was established in 2007. As the first editor, I worked with Trasaterra to redesign the website, which at the time had over 3,000 blog posts. This redesign marked a shift from a guest blogging program to bimonthly thematic issues. The magazine contained contributions from a team of 30 freelance writers and columnists, who covered a variety of contemporary art topics. Additionally, the magazine provided resources for art educators and information on Art21 films and programs.
Each issue’s articles and essays were carefully selected to connect to both the theme and broader conversations happening in the art world. The redesign coincided with a partnership with the International Association of Art Critics-USA and CUE Art Foundation to create an online residency for emerging arts writers.
