rae teitelbaum

Multidisciplinary visual artist, filmmaker, and researcher from Syracuse (New York) currently based in Barcelona.

Rae’s artistic practice is rooted in film, video, performance, installation, sculpture, poetry, and textiles, using queer worlding (SF) as an approach to working with themes of ecology, gender, sexuality, community, and futurity. Rae’s work positions queer worlding as a collective process, which can involve spiritual, social, ecological practices, imaginaries, and desires, leading to the generation of experimental models of living in relation to other humans, non-humans, and land, as well as a potential radical tool for imagining and fabricating queer eco-imaginaries, worlds, and future-past-presents.

Rae graduated from Purchase College, NY, with a BA in Media, Society, and the Arts (2017), after which they completed an Advanced Studio Arts Diploma at Metáfora Studio Arts Programs (2019) in Barcelona. They then completed an MA in Digital Media: Image Making at Goldsmiths, University of London (2020), where they focused on 3D animation, video, and VR. They are currently working on their PhD in visual anthropology, “Queer Worlding: Exploring Practices of Co-Creation in Queer and Trans Eco- Communities in Rural Spain and Portugal” (Goldsmiths, London).
