A conference centering scholarhship around artist-curated exhibitions created in collaboration with Anthony Huberman, Eli Copeland, Hayoung Chung, Javier Villanueva, Audrey Min, and Đỗ Tường Linh.
Organized and moderated an intergenerational panel to discuss Against Nature (1989, LACE, Los Angeles; curated by Dennis Cooper and Richard Hawkins), an exhibition that focused on AIDS largely through affective rather than political responses.

Worked with artists and distributors to recreate and screen original video program at GPS.
Organized a performative response to TransEuphoria (2011, Umbrella Arts; curated by Chloe Dzubilo and Jeffrey Greene). Gavilán Rayna Russom performed a live electronic sound work, Oh Remain, incorporating samples of Chloe Dzubilo’s voice from the archive of T De Long.
