Abraham Diaz

Abraham Diaz is the Community Engagement Manager of Counterpublic.

Abraham Diaz (he/him) is an architectural designer, artist, and community organizer based in St. Louis, MO. Abraham is dedicated to shifting the burden of resiliency from people to the built environment and works across scales and mediums to achieve this goal. In 2022, he received a Divided City Graduate Summer Research Fellowship, where he traveled to the Southwestern United States to document US Customs and Border Patrol interior checkpoints, a condition of the United States’ growing legacy of colonialism and white supremacy.

His work with daarna Studio, one of the few Palestinian-led design orgs in the U.S., aims to strengthen the link between analysis and action. He is the lead fabricator and a core team member of The People’s Solidarity Tent, a project by daarna with over 200 unique art contributions. For all his roles, and in his own practice, Abraham leverages craft, creativity, and nuanced political analysis to maximize impact for justice and collaboration. Abraham believes in a free Palestine.
