MJ Neuberger engages self-created rituals, elemental processes and native traditions as metaphors for reoccupying bodies abandoned across generations by colonial, racial, and gender-based violence. She attempts to mend an heirloom cloth with her hair to acknowledge a connection to indigenous Filipino weavers denied by members of her family. Sculptural works, images, and light-based and performative installations and events offer the viewer haptic and visual opportunities to embrace shared vulnerability and alterity.

Neuberger has presented work at Art Resources Transfer, Gathering of the Tribes and the Nuyorican Poets Café in New York and at exhibitions in Maryland, North Carolina and Indiana. She teaches art at Towson University, works with underserved youth as a makerspace coordinator and organizes community-based art/performance events. Her writing and criticism have appeared in SPIN, The Nationand the Village Voice.
