About The Illuminator

The Illuminator is an art-activist collective comprised of visual artists, educators, filmmakers, and technologists living and working in New York City.

The collective has staged hundreds of projection-interventions in public spaces, transforming the street from a space of passive consumption and transit into a site of engagement, conflict, and dialogue. Our work calls attention to the many urgent crises that confront us, in support of the ongoing struggle for a more just, peaceful and sustainable world.

You can find us on instagram at @the.illuminator, and on twitter and facebook at @illuminator99.

Current members include Emily Andersen, Anna Ozbek, Chris Rogy, Patricia Silva, Tee Topor, and I.V.
