- Danielle Abrams
- Tufts University, Professor of Practice
Danielle Abrams’ performances arise from the social currents that shape her mixed-race and queer identity. By juxtaposing ethnic clans and rearranging time and space, she creates scenarios that are liberated from scripts of the past. Abrams has presented performances at ICA Boston, Detroit Institute of the Arts, Bronx Museum of the Arts, The Jewish Museum, Queens Museum and others. She has received awards from The New York Foundation of the Arts, Urban Arts Initiative, Franklin Furnace Performance Art Fund, and the 2018 Distinguished Artist Award from the St. Botolph Club Foundation in Boston. Abrams is a Professor of Practice at School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and a resident artist at A Studio in the Woods, a program of Tulane University, New Orleans, LA.
