currentarchive is a poetic net art project that reflects my research process as a mixed, diasporic anishinaabe. It animates the senses of obscurity, denial, and loss that often define searches for indigeneity in institutional spaces (and sometimes daily life). i altered photographic, audio, and textual material from my own experience and family history to subvert the oppressive practices of redaction and obfuscation. currentarchive is entwined with refusal—first to be recognized, and then to be dismissed.
kama rose (born 2000) is a mixed anishinaabe artist raised in northern california, in a city braided with two major rivers. she utilizes sound, words, and photos and videos to make works that inquire both personal and collective memory. she released her first music single, “empathy”, in 2023, and self-published the book “a light world” in 2024.
The ምርቃት (mirik’at) / blessings generator is a collaborative web-based interactive work. Inspired by coffee ceremonies and the verbal art of well-wishing from their shared homeland of Ethiopia, the artists created this project to cultivate a new practice of collective care-taking for virtual space.
The website allows visitors to receive blessings on topics ranging from world woes to future hopes, or to receive a customized blessing based on their specific concern. Sharing a wealth of knowledge about the practice of well-wishing, the project invites visitors to bring ምርቃት (mirik’at) into their lives to experience the sense of wellbeing and interconnectedness that come with rooting for each other.

Ashcroft is a narrative-driven, psychological horror game being built through Bitsy with Twine integration. It follows two women of different eras - one in the present day and one in the late 1800s. Playing as Lesly, we follow her story as the new Dorm Manager for an all-girls residence hall in Texas. As strange happenings in the house put her on edge, she begins to unravel the story of Eliza, one of the first owners, whose traumatic past led to the current state of the Ashcroft dormitory.

You are a line cook who was recently hired for a cruise ship gig where every day you prepare ingredients and make dishes to then deliver to customers. However, each night the ship seems to twist and turn against you and its walls sound less like its creaking but breathing. However, no matter what you might see, no matter what you might hear… YOU. MUST. COOK.
Hi! We are a group of college students and aspiring game developers who developed this horror game in under 15 weeks for our video game capstone class. We wanted to tackle the challenge of making a retro horror aesthetic reminiscent of old PlayStation graphics. We are a mix of VFX artists, 3D Modelers, programmers, and me as the producer and we're super passionate about continuing to develop the game!
