2024 Artist X Activist Residency Leeway Foundation
Laura Deutch and Ella-Gabriel Mason are two members of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) Philadelphia who will lead and build with the rest of the chapter's volunteer membership to create media-based educational and advocacy materials for use in JVP’s Israel Bonds Divestment Campaign. Through shorter form video, Laura and Ella-Gabriel will also create media that will help shift cultural narratives that conflate Jewishness with support for Israel and Zionism. Additionally, they want to use this residency to train a small group of members with media skills to build JVP Philly’s documentation capacity.
Jewish Voice for Peace is the largest progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization in the world. We’re organizing a grassroots, multiracial, cross-class, intergenerational movement of U.S. Jews into solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle, guided by a vision of justice, equality, and dignity for all people. JVP-Philly is our local chapter.

Termite TV @ Signal Culture
November 2016, following the election of Donald Trump, Termite TV took up residence for a few snowy days at Signal Culture in Owego, NY to create media to channel our anger, frustration and outrage over the election and our fear for what is to come. We played with great analog and digital tools which culminated in a live stream of our collective madness.
