I organize public-facing, multimodal workshops that bring together diverse participants to question how knowledge about the world is produced, shared, and experienced, working across sound, visual media, writing, and embodied practices such as walking. These workshops function as experiments in perception and interpretation, using sensory experience, slowness, and collaboration to unsettle boundaries between research, art, and everyday life while rethinking what counts as knowledge, who produces it, and how it circulates.
April, 2026 - In Circulation
This two-part workshop uses Cincinnati’s rail corridors as sites where plant matter, infrastructure, and circulation intersect. I draw on the city’s history as a global printing powerhouse—second only to New York in the 19th and 20th centuries. The railroad system, whose legacy persists in both active freight lines and disused tracks was the backbone of the industry. Participants will meditate on the urban environment , the city’s past and its relationship with more-than-human worlds by foraging plants alongside the Torrence railroad and transforming them into paper. The resulting paper becomes materially continuous with the railroad system itself, as plants growing within spaces of former transport and present neglect are used to produce the very medium the railways once circulated.
February, 2026 - Mind the Gap
Design by: Stephanie Sadre-Orafai
January, 2026 - Floating
co-organized with Chandra Frank, Laura Zanotti and D.J. Trischler
Critical walking workshop inspired by how we ‘float’, ‘flow’ and are ‘carried’ through space. We will use floating as a guiding concept—in how more-than-humans and other-than-humans move—taking a particular note of the local ecology. Departing from a range of movement and writing prompts, we will explore and listen to how life ‘floats’ by us, and how we float through it. We will tune into floating, spilling, and leaking sounds and/or debris/objects and collectively consider how floating might demand different forms of presence and attention across the seen and unseen.
