A recent bio:

*Amanda McDonald Crowley* is a cultural worker, curator, and educator.
Amanda works at the intersection of art, science, and technology; and
supports public art platforms that bring together professionals and
amateurs from varied disciplines to generate dialogue and create space for
audience engagement.

Amanda is with Mary Mattingly on Swale; LigoranoReese on School of Good
Citizenship; has advisory roles on artist-led projects including Vibha
Galhotra’s S.O.U.L Foundation, Delhi; Juanli Carrión’s OSS Project NY; Di
Mainstone’s Human Harp, UK; and in 2019 curated Amy Khoshbin’s TinyScissors
pop-up tattoo parlor for Detroit Art Week. [Unfortunately I've just had to
scratch the note that I was working towards the exhibition for SLSA2021 at
U Michigan as they have very sadly decided that they cannot proceed with an
exhibition to accompany the symposium in our current complicated times.]

Amanda has held leadership positions with Eyebeam in NYC, Australian
Network for Art and Technology, ISEA2004, Helsinki, Adelaide Festival 2002,
and has done curatorial residencies at HIAP (Finland), Santa Fe Art
Institute (USA), Bogliasco Foundation (Italy), Sarai (India), and Banff
Center for the Arts (Canada).A recent bio
