Soon after I moved to L.A. from New York, I co-founded the Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND),
a nonprofit public art initiative committed to curating site - and situation - specific contemporary art projects in Los Angeles and beyond.
Thirukode is the co-founder of Project For Empty Space,
a nonprofit public art initiative that brings contemporary art out of institutional spaces and into vacant lots in cities.
They include: Negar Azimi, writer and senior editor at Bidoun, an award - winning publishing, curatorial, and educational
initiative with a focus on the Middle East and its diasporas; Gean Moreno, artistic director of Cannonball, a Miami — based
nonprofit dedicated to the advancement of critical discourse and contemporary
art through residencies, grants, commissions, and
public programs; Aily Nash, co-curator of Projections, the New York Film Festival's artists» film and video section, and co-curator of the 2017 Whitney Biennial film program; and Wendy Yao, a publisher and founder of both the exhibition space 356 South Mission Road and Ooga Booga, a shop with two Los Angeles locations that specializes in independent books, music,
art, and clothing.
