Hana Iverson is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and educator whose work spans photography, video, large-scale public installation, and mobile media. Her practice traces a progression from the physical body to the social body to the archive—examining how individual experience is shaped, recorded, and carried across time.

Iverson's projects range from intimate, image-based works to site-responsive installations and participatory, networked storytelling systems that invite public co-authorship. Her work began in photography and video—including an ongoing practice focused on the photobook as artistic form and mode of distribution—and expanded into site-responsive media installations. View from the Balcony (2000–2003), at the Museum at Eldridge Street, marked a shift toward spatial and site-specific engagement, leading to projects exploring networked communities and emerging wireless technologies. Lifeline (2025), a long-term collaborative photobook project, connects to her broader work with artist books—as both maker and collector—and her sustained interest in the material and temporal life of the book. By linking personal history with the layered histories of place, her work activates collections and civic spaces as sites of encounter, reflection, and shared meaning. These projects have unfolded in public and institutional contexts across New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Istanbul, London, Rome, and Tokyo.

Her curatorial approach centers on sustained collaboration, bringing artists, collections, histories, and places into active exchange through exhibitions, public programs, and interdisciplinary curricula. Cross-Walks: Weaving Fabric Row (2007), a neighborhood mobile portrait; the educational initiative Neighborhood Narratives (2004 - 2012); and L.A. Re.Play (2011-12)—a three-part CAA session accompanied by an exhibition and published journal (Leonardo, MIT Press)—exemplify this approach. She is currently Curator-in-Residence at Temple University's Charles Library, developing a multi-year exhibition and public programming initiative on the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection. She develops projects from concept through realization, leading complex initiatives across universities, libraries, and museums, securing funding and guiding ambitious work with clarity and rigor.

Iverson’s work has been supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Desert Food Foundation (ecological arts), The Covenant Foundation, The Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, WHYY Public Television, Drexel University, and Temple University.

Raised in Toronto and based for many years in New York City and Philadelphia, Iverson now lives in Baltimore. She holds a Master of Professional Studies from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and a B.A. from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
