Sharifa Lafon (she/her) is a curator and artist based in Denver. She works in experimental video, installation, and public projection. Her artistic practice is concerned with ecology and the moving image as a spatial encounter, specifically the moments where the image breaks down, or reveals itself as an illusion. She is the director of programming and curator for the Denver Theatre District and the executive director of Denver Digerati, where she commissions and presents work by artists whose ideas she genuinely wants to see realized. Her curatorial approach is less about selection and more about co-production and building conditions for experimentation. She is currently a PhD candidate in the Department of Critical Media Practices at the University of Colorado Boulder and holds an MA in Visual Studies, a BA in Art History, and a BFA in Photography.
