I am writing to share the fantastic news that Kayla Drzewicki will be joining Rhizome in a full-time, permanent capacity as Program Assistant! In her new role, Kayla will support curatorial research, ArtBase accessions, communications, live event production, and other key initiatives.

Kayla brings valuable experience to Rhizome—previously, she has worked as a media educator in Baltimore, teaching basic computer science at the Enoch Pratt Free library and at public schools throughout the city. In 2020, she was a co-programmer and designer for QuaranTV, a 24/7 public access live stream project, which streamed non-stop for the first 1800 hours of the pandemic and was included in The Wire Magazine’s 2020 Rewind.

Over the past few months in her temporary position, Kayla has brought careful attention, positive energy, and a passion for Rhizome's program to her work with us. She's already made impactful contributions with her engaging and funny event recaps, emoji mastery 🦋, and expert community listing selections for the newsletter. I am confident that she will help us take Rhizome’s Artistic Program to the next level.

Welcome to Rhizome, Kayla!
