Prior to entering the field of mental health, Clancey dedicated her time to community-based program development and memory work. In 2015, she began collaborating with grassroots arts initiatives in the Skid Row neighborhood in Los Angeles and advocating for more access to arts and cultural spaces in the community. Interested in the spaces where the arts, memory work, and advocacy overlap, Clancey began archival work with the Los Angeles Poverty Department, an arts organization in Skid Row that creates performances, multidisciplinary artworks, and exhibitions that connect the experiences of people living in poverty to the larger social forces that shape their lives and communities. She played an important role as the first archivist at the Skid Row History Museum & Archive and in producing the Festival for All Skid Row Artists.
Clancey began working with archives in Buenos Aires in 2012 as an intern with the National Archive of Human Rights and Memory. She is particularly interested in archiving as an activist practice to narrate stories that would otherwise go unheard. She has since engaged in a variety of archival projects in Argentina, Hawaii, and Los Angeles.
Between 2018-2020, as Programs Manager for Women’s Voices Now, Clancey developed arts programs and partnerships for the organization to activate their online archive of over 200 films about women's rights issues in community programs, workshops, and advocacy events. In 2019, she coordinated their summer program, Girls Voices Now, which teaches filmmaking and community activism to young women from underrepresented communities across Los Angeles. Clancey is now a member of the Women’s Voices Now Advisory Board, and remains connected to several grassroots community initiatives.
