In Conversation: Elisa Hamilton, Clareese Hill and Ruth Clemens
2025-10-14 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
Hidden Histories Artists Elisa Hamilton and Dr. Clareese Hill will be in conversation with scholar Dr. Ruth Clemens. Moderated by Curator-in-Residence Dr. Leonie Bradbury for a discussion about the expansive role of speculative, cartographic, and de-colonial historical research methods.

Dr. Ruth Clemens’ broad research interests cover film, cultural analysis, and comparative literary studies. Her work explores the intersections between textuality and materiality, media and politics, and language and technology. Her research interests are varied, with through-lines of critical post-humanism and the avant-garde across media, film, sound, and visual arts and the materiality of culture.

Elisa H. Hamilton is a socially engaged multimedia artist who creates artworks and community-centered projects that emphasize shared spaces and the hopeful examination of our everyday places, objects, and experiences. She holds a BFA in Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and an MA in Civic Media from Emerson College. Her most recent project Glimpses of Glapion presents a series of digital vignettes honoring the life and legacy of a historic figure Louis Glapion in the augmented reality application Hoverlay as part the the exhibition Hidden Histories and the City of Boston’s Un-monument Initiative.

Dr. Clareese Hill is a practice-based art researcher in XR and Immersive Media. She explores the validity of the word “identity” through her perspective as an Afro-Caribbean American woman and her societal role projected on her to perform as a Black feminist academic. Her most recent project The Black Boston Dream Oracle is a speculative reimagining of The Complete Fortune Teller and Dream Book written by Chloe Russel, a 19th-century Black

Elisa Hamilton’s project Glimpses of Glapion will present a series of digital vignettes honoring the life and legacy of Louis Glapion. Glapion was a French, biracial hairdresser and barber who, together with his friend George Middleton, built and owned what is now considered the oldest extant house in Beacon Hill, located at 5 Pinckney Street. While more is known about Middleton, the artist’s research has uncovered glimpses of Glapion that speak to an interesting and noteworthy life based in Beacon Hill. Hamilton seeks to honor Glapion and enliven curiosity about his lived experiences in our city. The AR experience will be available on Hoverlay and accompanied by a research document designed for educational purposes.

Clareese Hill’s The Black Boston Dream Oracle is a speculative reimagining of The Complete Fortune Teller and Dream Book written by Chloe Russel, a 19th-century Black woman from Massachusetts. By blending historical wisdom with future-focused fabulations, the Black Boston Dream Oracle will provide a unique space for reflection, healing, and imagining new possibilities for liberation and collective well-being through early Black feminist thought. The Oracle will be presented as an Extended Reality (XR) experience available on the Hoverlay application, accompanied by a web-based research document designed for educational purposes.

Sue Murad’s ASSEMBLE: Performance Instructions For Public Arrangement is a participatory performance that reflects on the ways we gather in public space—particularly the historic Boston Common—through the objects we bring with us or discover there. It is a guided, interactive experience that unfolds across the landscape, inviting participants into temporary arrangements shaped by memory, proximity, and shared attention. The project bears witness to the many generations of people who have gathered together for rest and rallies, labor and loitering, play and protest.

Kameelah J. Rasheed’s public poetry project I have Asked Myself:“Can a Sentence be Haunted? And if so by what?” responds to Boston’s memorial landscape by exploring the layered histories of Boston as discovered in the archives of the Boston Athenaeum. Rasheed gathered marginalia and ornate typefaces from their collection of Boston’s oldest books. These fragments are interwoven or sampled into digital designs to form visual poems to be displayed on digital signage situated around the Boston Common.

Margaux Crump is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher exploring the entanglements between magic, ecology, and the spiritual Imagination. Born in Houston, TX, she spent her childhood playing in gardens where she was steeped in ancestral fairy lore. These experiences wove quietly through the background of her work, until she returned to Houston after earning her MFA in studio art from Washington University in St. Louis. With a renewed interest in the folklore and myths she grew up with, she immersed herself in the study of esotericism and ecology. She is currently investigating the phenomena of the unseen, from the microscopic to the mythic worlds that surround us. Taking form primarily through sculpture, photography, painting, and ritual, her work traces threads of the mythic, magical, and imaginal across disciplines and histories in search of how they inhabit and trouble the present.

Ash Eliza Williams

Ash Eliza Williams grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains in SW Virginia. Ash is a painter and multidisciplinary artist making work about interspecies communication, non-human language, and more vibrant methods of connection. Recent exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver, the Anderson Museum, and the Chautauqua Institute. Ash often works with scientists, including as an artist-in-residence at Shoals Marine Laboratory, Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and Mountain Lake Biological Station as a Lucille Walton Fellow. Ash is currently a 2025 – 2026 Roswell Foundation Artist-in-Residence.

Tuesday, November 18 from 6:30 – 7:30pm, 6pm doors open

Artist Sue Murad shares about her ASSEMBLE walking tour with Curator Shana Dumont Garr. Based in the Boston Common, Murad’s part of the Hidden Histories walking tour is inspired by the archival photos of people spending time together in the park from the nineteenth century to the present. Murad created a series of prompts to celebrate the right to peacefully assemble and create a temporal micro-culture for each group during the tour.

Sue Murad, ASSEMBLE, Reimagined Historic Walking Tours in Boston Common, 2025.

Shana Dumont Garr is a contemporary art curator, writer, and educator based in Greater Boston. She is a curator at Emerson Contemporary and a professor in the Department of Visual & Media Arts at Emerson College. She is also curating the independent project NO SLEEPING, a nomadic, participatory series of performances by Sue Murad and Deb Todd Wheeler at select historic houses in Massachusetts. Garr is a doctoral student at the Institute of Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts. She earned her MA in Art History from Boston University and her BA in Creative Writing and Art from Colby College in Waterville, ME.

Sue Murad responds to culture through an intuitive, sensory engagement with everyday objects, often in the public or private places they inhabit. Through a combination of attention, study, and play, she may alter, arrange, and choreograph a subject, or set up situations where change and chance happen without direct contact, such as a subject melting, falling, or sliding. She is drawn to both semblance and difference, and the strange and surreal synthesis that can occur with comparison and contrast. Disregarding notions of usefulness, common meaning, and prescribed narratives, these formal and philosophical explorations feed her interdisciplinary practice of performance, installation, sculpture, collage, and film.

In Conversation: Artists Jack Gruman and Logan Puleikis of VHF Studio will be talking with Malic Amalya
2025-11-19 18:00 - 19:30
Wednesday, November 19, Artists talk 6:30- 7:30pm, 6pm doors –

In Conversation: Artists Jack Gruman and Logan Puleikis of VHF Studio will talk with Malic Amalya, Assistant Professor of Experimental Media and Film Production, about the conceptual underpinnings of their installation “Narcissus look back: and they love you,” that is currently on view at the Emerson Media Art Gallery until December 13th.

This embodied, multi-sensory experience with a camp aesthetic explores loneliness as a collective experience in our current moment. They will discuss the tenuous and often shifting relationship between spectator and performer, loops of identity, and the duality of being haunted/haunting. With Malic Amalaya, the artists will discuss major influences on their piece, the political and moral values intrinsic to their work, and the challenges they’ve faced making and relating to art at this socio-political moment.

VHF STUDIO is a new media collective founded by artists Jack Gruman and Logan Puleikis. As collaborators they make genre-defying installation work, blurring the boundaries of “low” and “high” art. They pull inspiration from the queer club scene, haunted houses, and popular media to create high concept large-scale multi-channel video and sound installations.

Artist Reception, A Sentient Land: Artistic Alliances with Forests, Beetles, Salt, and Air
2026-01-21 17:00 - 19:00 | Media Art Gallery
Wednesday, January 21, 5:00 – 7:00 pm

Media Art Gallery, 25 Avery Street, Boston MA

Celebrate the opening of this groundbreaking four-person exhibition featuring artists Margaux Crump, Julia Krupa, Eileen Ryan, and Nelly-Eve Rajotte, who blur the boundaries between creator and material, science and art, human and more-than-human.

Experience immersive installations that invite direct dialogue with the natural world. Through innovative methods including bio-sonification, cloud chambers, LIDAR scanning, and ancient practices like fumage and saining, these artists share authorship with trees, stones, salt, and air itself.

This is your first opportunity to encounter works that challenge traditional notions of artistic agency and forge new pathways for interspecies connection. Witness how forests communicate at 220 hertz, how materials become collaborators, and how art can shift our relationship with the living world.

Meet the artists and the curator, Shana Dumont Garr, and explore questions that bridge aesthetics, ecology, and empathy: What happens when materials inform their own representation? How do we translate on behalf of the more-than-human?

Light refreshments will be served.

Exhibition runs January 21 – March 28, 2026Gallery hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 12–6 PM

Join artists Nelly-Eve Rajotte and Margaux Crump for an intimate conversation about their innovative practices of collaboration with the natural world.

Rajotte will discuss her work with bio-sonification and how she enables trees to generate their own sonic landscapes, including her installation Les arbres communiquent entre eux à 220 hertz, which translates forest communication into immersive audiovisual experience. Crump will share insights into her process of working with materials as co-creators, exploring how stones, beetles, and other elements inform the artistic outcome.

Together, they’ll explore questions at the heart of A Sentient Land: How do we share authorship with non-human collaborators? What does it mean to translate on behalf of materials? How can art deepen our empathy and connection across species?

This conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from two artists reimagining the relationship between maker and material, challenging us to consider the agency of the more-than-human world.

Repair and Renew: A Visible Mending Workshop with Deepika Prakash
2026-03-17 17:30 - 19:30 | Emerson Media Art Gallery, 25 Avery Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02111, United States
Tuesday, March 17, 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Courtesy Deepika Prakash

Repair and Renew is a hands-on, slow-making workshop that invites participants to explore visible mending and meditative hand-sewing as both a practical skill and a reflective creative practice. Through simple stitches and intentional repair, participants will learn how caring for textiles can deepen our relationship with materials, reduce waste, and encourage a more mindful approach to consumption.

Set within the inspiring environment of the exhibition A Sentient Land, this workshop draws parallels between attention to materials and mending—both acts of care, patience, observation, and renewal. Participants will leave not only with a repaired garment, but with foundational hand-sewing skills and a renewed appreciation for sustainability, imperfection, and craft.

What to bring:

Small scissors

Jeans which need repair

We will provide:

Hand sewing needles and thread

Some sewing supplies to share

Join artists Elisa Hamilton and Clareese Hill on a special artist lead walking tour of their two new public art projects Glimpses of Glapion and The Black Boston Dream Oracle in the Beacon Hill neighborhood.

Meeting Point: Boston Common Visitor’s Center

Elisa Hamilton’s project Glimpses of Glapion will present a series of digital vignettes honoring the life and legacy of Louis Glapion. Glapion was a French, biracial hairdresser and barber who, together with his friend George Middleton, built and owned what is now considered the oldest extant house in Beacon Hill, located at 5 Pinckney Street. While more is known about Middleton, the artist’s research has uncovered glimpses of Glapion that speak to an interesting and noteworthy life based in Beacon Hill. Hamilton seeks to honor Glapion and enliven curiosity about his lived experiences in our city. The AR experience will be available on Hoverlay and accompanied by a research document designed for educational purposes.

Clareese Hill’s The Black Boston Dream Oracle is a speculative reimagining of The Complete Fortune Teller and Dream Book written by Chloe Russel, a 19th-century Black woman from Massachusetts. By blending historical wisdom with future-focused fabulations, the Black Boston Dream Oracle will provide a unique space for reflection, healing, and imagining new possibilities for liberation and collective well-being through early Black feminist thought. The Oracle will be presented as an Extended Reality (XR) experience available on the Hoverlay application, accompanied by a web-based research document designed for educational purposes.

Emerson Contemporary is thrilled to collaborate with the Museum of African American History (MAAH) for this program. After the walk, an artist Q&A session will take place at the African Meeting House at 46 Joy Street, Boston, MA.
