The Absent Museum
2017-2021
The Absent Museum was conceived as a cooperative practice to consider which aspects of pedagogical inquiry were absent from institutional programing. Framed as a discussion specific platform it included voices from prominent feminist practices, collectives around social activism and grassroots initiatives which despite the undeniable threat of absolute power perform actions of philanthropic giving and building.
The program included, most recently, a series of meetings in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and as a continuation of the thoughts that sparked political uprisings to discuss the political power of a Manifesto.
Resulting collective writings were published as, Care as Discipline (2021) and Hope as Discipline (2020), co-organized with Ana Baginski and Silvi Naçi; in 2019 a panel Taking Space/Making Space with Cog︎nate Collective, and Feminist Center for Creative Work, co-organized with Ana Baginski, at UC Irvine’s School of Humanities; a 2018 talk, Making an Activist with Madin Lopez of ProjectQ on the power of the LGBTQ+ community, at CalArts’ Bijou Theatre.
