About

Rashida Kamal is a developer at Politico and a co-founder of Trash Club, an arts collective focused on examining waste sites in the US. She is a recent graduate of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where she learned how to take apart rotary phones; build pneumatic, exploding cakes; and play around antennas to talk and listen. From 2020 to 2021, she also served as a research fellow for ITP, and led the technical and conceptual implementation of their syllabus archive.

In her ample (ha!) free time, she likes to throw elaborate dinner parties for close friends, read nonfiction, and paint with an assortment of materials.

You can follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and if you must, Github.
