BIOGRAPHY
Emery is interested in the ways educators, artists, and youth connect their assets to bring about the world they wish to experience, even for a short period of time. He is at his best in intergenerational art, expression, and learning spaces where youth and adults make things together — especially beats, sounds, songs, and beautiful noise. He plays the role of curator and conduit in these spaces, linking together the relational and material assets for teaching, learning, and living. Emery’s scholarship and community work have been supported by the Spencer Foundation, the Faculty Development Network at New York University, and partnerships with Ableton and Koala Sampler.
