Rachel was a core member of The Illuminator, an artist-activist projection collective, from 2014 through 2023.
The collective has staged hundreds of projection-interventions in public
spaces, transforming the street from a space of passive consumption and
transit into a site of engagement, conflict, and dialogue. The work calls
attention to the many urgent crises that confront us, in support of the
ongoing struggle for a more just, peaceful and sustainable world. In her near decade with the collective, Rachel was part of over 100 projection actions.
Rachel presented the collective's work and taught the
guerrilla projection tactics at various conferences including Open
Engagement, the Allied Media Conference and the Hemispheric Institute for
Performance and Politics' Encuentros. She collaborated on editing videos and installing exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum and Colgate University.
Though less glamorous, she also served as Financial and Operations Administrators for many years.
