Interdisciplinary Artist, Cultural Organizer, Designer, PhD Student
Reyes is currently pursuing a PhD in Social Welfare at The City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center. Her past experience in humanitarianism — particularly her research in the Philippines, exploring the intersections of education, armed conflict, climate disasters, and community resilience —informs her study. Her doctoral studies aim to critically examine alternative approaches to paternalistic humanitarianism via diaspora engagement in humanitarian assistance, development, and transnational care systems. She is a 2023-2024 SUNY/CUNY Southeast Asia Consortium Fellow.
She studied studio art at California State University Long Beach before transferring to Syracuse University where she received her BFA in Art Photography. In 2019, she earned her master’s degree in Arts in Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
She has exhibited at the Spark Contemporary Art Gallery (Syracuse, NY), Queens Museum (Queens, New York), Ang Panublion Museum (Roxas City, Cadiz, Philippines), Alfredo F. Tadiar Library (San Fernando, La Union, Philippines), Areté Ateneo Art Gallery (Manila, Philippines), and Flushing Town Hall (Queens, New York).
She has done work for the Campaign and Creative Services team at BerlinRosen, the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, the Resilient Communities program at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, Penguin Random House, Condé Nast, and Visionaire. Recently she worked at the International Rescue Committee, where she supported the Education technical unit, coordinated with the Global Anti-Racism and Decoloniality (GARD) Network, and participated in Operation Allies Welcome.
