Hali Dardar

My name is Hali Dardar (she/her), and I am an interaction designer, project manager, and artist. I enjoy long-term, creative engagements to improve organizational process and produce community change. Alot of that tends to be non-profit admin work. My work has supported process development, community-based design, language revitalization, Indigenous media, and memory documentation. I currently freelance remote under moniker Art Transit Authority, and am based in Louisiana. Over the years, I have co-founded of the Houma Language Project, and Bvlbancha Public Access. Previously, I've led collaborative project management and design for Language Vitality Initiatives at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, Shift Collaborative, and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. I am a tribal member of the United Houma Nation, hold a BA in print journalism from Louisiana State University and have a MA in Arts, Culture, and Media from the University of Groningen.
