Irit Reinheimer
Communications Assistant, Ext. 15
Irit is an artist and media maker based in Philadelphia. In her creative endeavors, she works across disciplines to find the most appropriate media to express and communicate her ideas. This has lead Irit on a journey that began in fine arts with sculptural installations exploring the relationship between women and work, then continued to documentary and experimental film focusing on ideas of identity and loss. Most recently, she has delved into the world of production design for film, where her experience with both installation and video has been put to a new use. Irit is dedicated to her craft and continues to create her own work; her love for community and collective projects often steers her to collaborations. In addition to her own creative work, she has taught video production classes through several community organizations including, Media Mobilizing Project and Scribe Video Center. She has also edited several documentary projects exploring issues of international human rights, disability rights and inter-group conflict in public schools. She was a recipient of a 2006 Art and Change Grant.
