Nicer Tuesdays
Feature“Need a kick of creative inspiration to fight the winter blues? Come and cosy up for some inspiring talks at our Nicer Tuesdays event in New York this coming February. To usher in the new year, we’ve got a bumper line-up of creative brilliance in store.

This time around we’ll be hearing from artist and baker Lexie Smith, more widely known as the creative mastermind behind Bread on Earth, as well as graphic designer and illustrator Chantal Jahchan who will be taking us through how she tackles one of her intricate editorial commissions. Daniela Spector will also be giving us an insight into her archival approach to photography, and New York’s one and only New York Nico will be sitting down with our US editor-at-large Elizabeth Goodspeed to talk about his career so far, following the release of his debut book.”

Security Matter (C) - A Portrait of Surveillance
PublicationSecurity Matter (C) - A Portrait of Surveillance is a photographic book that draws directly from the nearly 400 pages of my grandmother’s FBI file. My grandmother, Norma Spector, was surveilled between 1949 and 1978 for her involvement in the Communist Party, Federation of Greek Maritime Unions, Women Strike for Peace, Brooklyn Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy, and the National Negro Congress. The “C” in “Security Matter C” stood for “communist.”

The book aims to illuminate and critique the government’s surveillance of people, its own citizens, advocating for equality and peace by appropriating pages directly from the file and recontextualizing them through the lens of family history. The left-hand pages feature the FBI’s portrait of my grandmother, and the right-hand pages feature images of my grandmother from our family archive. The book was designed to evoke a government file. Each spread is split in half, forcing the reader to fully engage the book with both hands. 

This project was made possible by the 2024 Eureka! & Penumbra Foundation Risograph Residency. Each copy was printed and bound by the artist.

Experience Camps
PersonalExperience Camps is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing solace, support, and fun to children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling, or caregiver through a series of one-week grief camps nationwide. I spent a week at their Pennsylvania location, where I witnessed the staff's dedication and the campers' strength. In juxtaposing sorrow and elation, I sought to reveal the nuanced beauty that arises from the journey of healing.
