Pierce Erez-Henderson
is an educator, urbanist, and artist. The goal of his practice is two-part: first, to understand and explain learning and knowing; and second, to examine and contribute to infrastructures—at different social, spatial, and organizational scales—that beget learning and knowing. His work thus spans a wide range of physical, digital, sonic, textual, and computational projects that engage audiences across communities and disciplines. Pierce holds master’s degrees from the London School of Economics and the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art. He resides in Lausanne, Switzerland.

What about Design? Understanding the Biden Win From an Aesthetic Perspective (2021)
Op-ed published by the Harvard Kennedy School Review on the aesthetic dimensions of the US 2020 general election.
