Emma Rose Brown (b. 1991) is a Queens-based performer, multidisciplinary artist, and oral historian. She is the Archives Director for the Community Library of Voice and Sound in Hudson, NY where she assists yearly in facilitating Oral History Summer School.
Her work takes the form of multi-channel installation, extended collage, live performance, experimental archives, public listening events, and documentary film.
Her work is guided by the belief that art has the potential to intervene in the historical record through annotation, reenactment, repair and repatriation.
She is a three time SU CASA artist-in-residence through Queens Council on the Arts where she has taught experimental documentary arts to older adults.
Emma has presented original work at Friedman Gallery, Stone Circle Theatre, DOC NYC, Atlantic Center for the Arts, GIBNEY, Movement Research, New York Live Arts, and The School of Making Thinking. Her work takes her between the urban and the rural. Emma has facilitated participatory community scores at the Rochester Folk Arts Guild and at the Abode Farm in New Lebanon, NY.
Emma teaches in the Media Studies department at Hunter College.
