Adelita Husni-Bey’s work focuses on intersecting questions of gender, race, and class using collectivist and non-competitive pedagogical models within the framework of contemporary art. Her practice involves the analysis and counter-representation of hegemonic ideologies through popular education methodologies. Practicing as both an artist and a pedagogue she activates creative processes, such as role-playing, group undertakings, filmmaking and study sessions, producing situations for collective analisys. Working with a wide array of groups including students, athletes, lawyers, activists and architects, Adelita has developed methodologies that allow her and her collaborators explore their own relationship to the social and economic power of our present times.
