Shae Nadine (b.Shana Nadine Ehrlich) believes that Public Arts are imperative to the work we must all do to combat Climate Change. To this end they avoid a clinical, matter-of-fact application of bio/sci arts, and rely on a strategy of immersion, playfulness and beauty to disguise their activism, to disarm, to increase the susceptibility to messaging that penetrates ingrained beliefs and defense mechanisms. The Curator has received numerous fellowships, scholarships, grants, and residencies, most recently they were a Fellow at the Saas-Fee Academy, where they engaged with an international cohort to explore, ‘Art, Apparatus and Neural-Digital Entanglement in Cognitive Capitalism’. They are founder and Chief Curator of Poche Projects based in Long Island City, NYC.  

They welcome inquiries for collaborations with curators, institutions, designers, architects, corporations, scientists, and artists.
