Amber Hickey is a scholar and educator based in Brooklyn, NY. Her writing explores decolonial aesthetics, art activism, landscape politics, Indigenous peoples' justice, visual technologies and the military, radical pedagogy, and the visual culture of social and environmental justice movements. Amber is an affiliate of the Center for Creative Ecologies, and a member of the Education Working Group at the Interference Archive, a volunteer-run archive and gallery space that foregrounds “the relationship between cultural production and social movements.” She recently co-curated an exhibition at SUNY Purchase's MAASS Gallery,  featuring art created in solidarity with social movements (We are All in This Together, 2017). She is the editor of A Guidebook of Alternative Nows (Journal of Aesthetics and Protest Press, 2012), which explores creative practices that prefigure more socially, economically, and ecologically just versions of “now.” Her forthcoming publications include a chapter entitled “Pathways towards Justice: Walking as Decolonial Resistance" in the upcoming edited volume Violence & Indigenous Communities: Confronting the Past, Engaging the Present.
