t-art

t-art is an interdisciplinary publication and arts collective exploring the intersections of art, technology, and culture. Through the student-run, online and print publication t-art magazine and programming at the University of Pennsylvania and greater Philadelphia area, t-art explores the collaborative potential to push the boundaries of art and design.

I joined t-art as a founding staff writer in 2020 during my first year of undergrad and later became Editor In Chief from 2021 to 2023. Over the years, through grant writing, editorial oversight, and creative direction, I helped facilitate the growth of the project, bringing it from an online publication to in-person collaborative art exhibitions, studio visits, and more.

Resilience: Art & Design in Times of Uncertainty

May 3 – 22, 2022

The Arts League, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Organized and co-curated by Eleanor Shemtov, Caroline Jones, Avery Givens Nardone, and myself, this juried exhibition created a dialogue between fifteen young and emerging artists based in and around Philadelphia. Works made since the onset of the pandemic in 2020, spanning from painting to embroidery to experimental documentary practices, were selected to expand our ideas of “resilience” and explore the multifaceted nature of the term.

The second issue of t-art magazine was published alongside the exhibition and featured stories, interviews, and accompanying materials surrounding themes from the show.
