I think of space as something people produce together. As our everyday landscape becomes increasingly privatized and surveilled, I’m interested in the temporary worlds we build to interrupt that order, worlds whose boundaries are drawn less by property than participation. I look to dance floors, living rooms, airwaves, vacant lots, and other self-organized sites where people collectively reshape how they meet, relate to one another, and understand themselves. Through drawing, painting, animation, film, and sound, I ask what these fragile and ephemeral conditions might tell us about how space can be made otherwise.
Alissa Zilber (b. 1997) is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist based in Lenapehoking / Philadelphia, PA.

She has exhibited at AND Art Space (Montreal, QC), Procession Gallery (Philadelphia, PA), Galerie Mainline (Montreal, QC), and Takt Kunstprojektraum (Berlin, DE), where she was an artist-in-residence. Zilber guest hosts radio shows on CKUT 90.3 FM, and collaborates on visual projects across music and film.
