Alexandra Snow: Wicked Eden and the Autonomy Project

Snow’s work in Columbus includes a space founded in 2008 and a later community project developed with four other founders.

Wicked Eden, founded in 2008

The Autonomy Project’s account of Wicked Eden names Snow as its founder in 2008. The space has hosted classes in communication, relationships and identity, alongside workshops and community gatherings.

The same history describes rooms used by artists and photographers. Open houses gave neighbors an opportunity to visit and learn about the place. Creative activity was part of the space’s programme, as well as its educational work.

A building for a shared project

The Autonomy Project describes five founders whose experience included art, education, activism and care. It names Alexandra Snow among them. In 2022, she purchased a building that the organization says is held in trust for the community.

The organization traces its beginnings to small gatherings, workshops and creative events. Volunteers helped maintain the building, while educators and artists contributed to the programme. Its stated communities include LGBTQIA+ people, sex workers and creatives.

Art, music and mutual aid

An account published by the organization in 2024 describes mutual aid and a fund supporting art and music. It names murals by Scott Schaff among the early projects in the event space.

The programme has also included exhibitions and social activities. These details record how the place was used at that stage of its history. Snow’s documented role in founding and supporting the project is separate from the organization’s later changes in board membership.
