Her work uncovers the cultural and political meaning behind everyday objects, with a concentration on feminist themes such as equal pay, reproductive rights, and personal security. After 9/11, she explored the intersection of personal space and security using thousands of airport-confiscated items. She used a similar number of expired birth control pills to delve into the cultural background of the fight for reproductive rights and continues to drive conversations around the economic and political struggle for women’s rights with her modified vintage handbag editions. Pred’s latest projects have expanded on the social components that drive the conversation into public spaces. She organized Parade against Patriarchy in Miami Beach during Art Basel 2017 and led We Vote, an art and social justice parade in New York City designed to coincide with the 2018 midterm elections. In 2019, she organized Civil Discourse, an art-based interactive project during Miami Art week. Pred is represented by the Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York.
