Phoenix Perry
I am an artist and activist who often uses culture as a medium. I like to think of building educational and organizational structures like writing social fictions. What world do we want? How do we get there from here?
Creatively, I'm enraptured with play, bodies, technology and the complex weavings between them. My interdiplinary exhibition career started in the late 90's and continues to grow.
