In 2002 she began working with Moko Jumbies - still walkers - from Dragon Keylemanjahro School of Arts and Culture in Trinidad, a community center completely operated through volunteer participation from residents of the neighborhood. The project focuses on providing free of charge extracurricular activities to youth of a low-income area, as well as reviving the art and tradition of West African stilt walking. Through artistic interventions during special events, carnival competitions, workshops and outreach programs, the project aims to reinforce social ideals such as healthy life choices and respect for cultural heritage. Jumbie Camp follows the same concepts as above with the Brooklyn Jumbies and takes place in two burrows of New York with very different demographics. Jumbie Camp set up in Galeria Ramis Barquet in Chelsea, where the gallery was transformed into a workshop and rehearsal space where costumes and masks were created to provide costumes free of charge for the Brooklyn Jumbies’ presentations.

The Animate Object Of Kinetic Art, 1955-1968 Abstract This dissertation examines the development of kinetic art—a genre comprising motorized, manipulable, and otherwise transformable objects—in Europe and the United States from 1955 to 1968. Despite kinetic art’s popularity in its moment, existing scholarly narratives often treat the movement as a positivist affirmation of postwar technology or an art of mere entertainment. This dissertation is the first comprehensive scholarly project to resituate the movement within the history of performance and “live” art forms, by looking closely at how artists created objects that behaved in complex, often unpredictable ways in real time. It argues that the critical debates concerning agency and intention that surrounded moving artworks should be understood within broader aesthetic and social concerns in the postwar period—from artists’ attempts to grapple with the legacy of modernist abstraction, to popular attitudes toward the rise of automated labor and cybernetics. It further draws from contemporaneous phenomenological discourses to consider the ways kinetic artworks modulated viewers’ experiences of artistic duration.
