Alex Strada is an artist and educator based in New York City. Working across film, photography, and installation, her projects ask questions about the politics of representation, visibility of labor, and reproduction of collective memory. Her process is research-based and often involves collaboration. Strada’s work has been shown internationally including exhibitions and screenings at the Anthology Film Archives, Socrates Sculpture Park, Museum of Moving Image, Goethe-Institut, Jewish Museum, National Museum of Iceland in Reykjavik, MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, Kaunas Biennial in Lithuania, and on the screens of Times Square with Time Square Arts’ Midnight Moment. Her work has been written about in Artsy, Vice, and The New Yorker. Strada received a B.A. from Bates College in 2010, an M.F.A. in Visual Art from Columbia University in 2016, and she was a 2018–2019 studio participant in the Whitney Independent Study Program. She teaches at Columbia University and Fordham University. Alex’s practice is project-based and each project begins with a question. The questions inform Alex’s research, and her research shapes her material choices. When displaying a work, Alex aims to create temporal and spatial ruptures that make room for new curiosities, empathies, and consciousness. Alex is interested in participating in the Technology Immersion Program at Harvestworks in order to learn about new digital media tools and equipment that will shape how she conducts research and exhibits her projects.
