From fiction films created with communities, to interactive documentaries and public interventions, Ruth explores what makes it possible for us to move from an inner realm of thought, dream or feeling to an exterior world of public action. 

Ruth is the creator of large scale community interventions, Chalk and Voices of 9.11 and the founder of the Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (NYC), New-York Historical Society and 3LD Art + Technology Center. Her work has won support from the NYS Council on the Arts, Jerome Foundation and the 21st Century ILGWU Heritage Fund. Originally from New York, Ruth moved to Berlin in 2011. Her first solo exhibition, Tikkun Olam, was at Kunstverein Grafschaft Bentheim. Immerwährende Verwandlung, an interactive cabinet of wonders, was commissioned by Universität Hamburg. Her first book, See You in the Streets! won a 2017 American Book Award.
