Alijah Webb holds a double B.A. in Anthropology and Art & Art History (with a concentration in Critical Curatorial Studies) from the College of William and Mary. As the Program Associate at the Foundation for Contemporary Arts (FCA), she helped manage five distinct grant programs dedicated to supporting experimental artists across disciplines. Prior to FCA she worked as an Art Educator, prioritizing inquiry-based learning, and culturally responsive pedagogical practices while serving elementary-aged students in Brooklyn, NY. As an independent curator, she presented two exhibitions, “Dreams and Nightmares” (2019) and “Phosphene” (2017) while working toward her undergraduate degree.
Her artistic practice is rooted in diaristic zinemaking, which she began as a teenager in rural Virginia. She later hosted “Never Too Much” on Radio Free Brooklyn for three years, which explored the relationship between media and personal catharsis. During this time, she also organized monthly community events in Brooklyn, fostering spaces for creative expression and dialogue. In 2023, she co-founded Perennial Mag, a digital zine where she writes and publishes work that reflects her lived experiences, embracing the messiness, sweetness, and discomfort.
