Amor Díaz-Campos
Amor Díaz-Campos (she | her) is a curator from Cuba who is passionate about the transformative and healing power of the arts. She is fascinated by the unique and yet universal way in which art can tell a story, convey deep emotions, and help us understand and see ourselves, creating spaces for meaningful dialogue and connection.
In 2019, Amor co-founded the Biennial Ríos Intermitentes in Matanzas, Cuba, with Nashville-based Cuban artist María Magdalena Campos-Pons. This biennial explores themes of memory, heritage, identity, and race, while addressing the specific needs of the Matanzas community. It was recognized as one of the top 15 exhibitions of 2019 by Hyperallergic Magazine and is now in its third edition.
Amor believes that artists hold the key to finding creative solutions to the most pressing issues of our time. She earned her Master’s Degree in Arts Administration from Boston University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Communication from Havana University.

Nando Alvarez-Perez
Joyce Chung is the Curator at Asian Arts Initiative in Philadelphia, where she leads the organization’s exhibition and performance programs. Her interdisciplinary approach examines identity, memory, and marginalization, with particular attention to how capitalism and power structures shape lived experiences. She is especially drawn to performance and time-based media for their ability to position the body as a site of resistance, reconciliation, and embodied memory. Chung focuses on underrepresented communities, particularly ethnic and gender minorities, and champions work that challenges normative frameworks. Her practice aims to create platforms where art fosters social inquiry and collective engagement. She has held curatorial roles at institutions in Korea and the U.S., including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, Gwangju Biennale, Hyundai Card, Kukje Gallery, and Performa in New York. Chung holds an MA in the Humanities from the University of Chicago and a BA in Art History from Wesleyan University.

Tanya Nixon-Silberg (she/her) is a Black mother, multi-modal artist, native Bostonian, educator, and founder of Little Uprisings—an organization focused on centering artivism, racial justice, and liberation with kids and their adults. Her primary artistic identities lie in puppetry, storytelling, and craft, and her work moves through the lens of liberation for Black folks. Tanya is currently in a multi-year partnership with Boston and Brookline Public Schools, leading anti-bias/anti-racism professional learning and curriculum development. In June 2023, Tanya completed her first public art installation called “They Did Not Know We Were Seeds” through the Now +There Accelerator program.

Tanya’s work centers the bodily remembrances of joy. As such, you will mostly find her playing with and learning from her 11-year-old kid, being in community with other artists, and radically imagining how we all get free together.
