Andrew Ingall

Andrew Ingall has been working in arts, culture, and community engagement for over twenty years as a curator, scholar, writer, performer, and producer. He received a B.A. from Columbia College and an M.A. in Performance Studies from Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. His collaborators have included cultural workers, artists, scholars, faith leaders, activists, health care professionals, and funeral directors.

With a background in theater, performance, and museum studies, Andy has organized exhibitions and public programs for The Brooklyn Museum, Electronic Arts Intermix, The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz, Wave Hill, and other cultural institutions. His writing and research has appeared in Videofreex: The Art of Guerrilla Television (SUNY Press), Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture, and other publications. He is currently developing Warlé, a multi-platform project to manifest the lives led by his distant cousins. Using archival documents, photography, original artifacts, dance, clothing design, and creative nonfiction, the goal is twofold: to encourage others to explore their queer ancestry and to generate conversations about how we care for LGBTQ+ elders and refugees today. In 2024 Warlé was presented as part of the Uptown Arts Stroll.

Andy is an Associated Artist at Culture Push, an organization that creates programs to nurture artists and other creative people approaching common problems through hands-on civic participation and imaginative problem-solving. He is also a past Fellow at LABA NY, a laboratory for Jewish culture based at Manhattan's 14th Street Y and part of a global cluster of hubs that includes Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Northern California. He has received support from UMEZ Arts Engagement, a regrant program supported by Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation (UMEZ) and administered by LMCC.
