The Palestine Futures Initiative was a granting program provided support for a cohort of five U.S.-based Palestinian artists, activists, and writers actively engaged in creating Palestinian futures of equity and liberation. Each artist was awarded $12,000 in unrestricted funding to support their work in light of the escalating violence and genocide against the people of Palestine and the devastating acts of scholasticide and cultural erasure that accompany this violence.
The Palestine Futures grantees, Randa Jarrar, Dr. Donia Jarrar, Jennifer Jajeh, susan abulhawa, and Susan Muaddi Darraj were selected through a nomination process.
I served on the organizing and curatorial team withZeina Baltagi, Ramsey Nasser, Ingrid Burrington and Sam Lavigne.

Poetic Computation: Seven Years of SFPC
January 12 - 23, 2020
January 12 - 23, 2020
Westbeth Gallery, New York City
Curatorial Team
Tega Brain, Alex Miller, Brian Solon, Lauren Gardner and Taeyoon Choi.
This exhibition celebrated seven years of work at the School for Poetic Computation (SFPC). Founded in 2013, and located in Westbeth Artists Housing, SFPC is an artist-run school, residency and research community, exploring the intersection of code, design, hardware and theory — focusing especially on artistic intervention. Its mission is to support and nurture a diverse community of artists and critical thinkers to shape more creative, humane and poetic forms of computation. In the past few years, the school has prioritized inclusion of women, QTPOC, and the disability community, offering a range of free public programs. With classes and events focusing on environmental justice, disability and accessibility, intersectionalities, and racial bias in algorithms, the teachers have expanded the conventional understanding of computation.
