Traveling Participatory Works
My participatory works move globally, opening space for perception, writing, and shared experience wherever they land. Some pieces are fully realized; others take shape in collaboration with the site and community.
I’m available for private hosting, public programming, festivals, galleries, libraries, universities, and site-responsive placements.
If a project resonates, I welcome invitations, proposals, and conversations about bringing the work to your community. Please reach out here.
-
The Box: A solitary writing ritual guided by immersive audio and housed in a minimalist object. The Box is a living artwork that shifts perception to reveal inner meaning—inviting stillness, sensing, and a deeper encounter with self. Designed for one participant at a time, it travels lightly and installs easily in any quiet space. | individual | 1 hour | up to 8 people/day
-
The Sense Languages: Perception-based workshops entering through sound, sight, or smell. Each session explores a sensory gateway as a portal into language and the subconscious. | group (8–10) | 2 hours per workshop | available as individual workshop or as a series
-
Parts Divided: A participatory performance that guides people into the many voices within—those inherited, imagined, silenced, and unknown. Through writing, somatic activation, and interpretive dance, it asks: How do you know which voice is truly your own? And can you sense which one gives rise to your impulses? | group (8–20) | 2–3 hours
Abre Tu Boca Writing Circle: An extension of Amanda’s Mexico-based social practice project, Abre Tu Boca. Each session begins with a prompt that drops you into your story, revealing characters, scenes, and voices that lie deep within. The prompt activates your inner voice and the writing flows out; you simply catch it with the page. The circle is fully guided in Amanda’s methodology, developed over three years, including active listening and feedback prompts to support the sharing process. | group (2–10) or private | 1.5–2 hours
-
Writing Safari: A guided writing experience that transforms public or semi-public spaces into story-rich terrains. Whether moving through a plaza or writing from inside a café, participants use ambient texture, character, and atmosphere as narrative material. Prompts delivered in real-time spark presence, perspective shifts, and shared reflection. | group (8–20) | 1.5–2 hours
Ménage à Cuatro: Cross-disciplinary, multi-lingual jam. Drawing, writing, live music and dance flow in continuous exchange. Each round begins with a prompt—visual, verbal, movement, or sonic—and moves through the others, each act a stimulus for the next. Equal parts intimate, unpredictable, and generative. | group (20 or more) | 1.5-2.5 hours

A growing body of language-based installations and immersions shaped by the spirit of place. These works are adapted in collaboration with local geography, context, and community. For an example, see Messages from the Interior.
I am a sponsored artist of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Your tax-deductible support helps sustain and expand my participatory work across writing, voice, and perception.
