Summer Artist Residency with Miriam Parker and Jo Wood-Brown from InnerCity Projects

From Thursday, July 16 through Saturday, August 30

Lost Voyage is a six-week residency installation that will evolve through time like layers and episodes of a story unfolding, sharing a process of living through these times exchanging our reflections as movers that embodied sound and sculptures that move and stories told of the traces of our action. Stories of displacement and home, of the search for belonging and empowerment. 

Over the course of the residency, Parker and Wood-Brown will invite dancers, musicians, and poets, for live-streamed collaborations.

About the Artists:

Miriam Parker and Jo Wood-Brown began their work together in early 2010s, under the collaboration InnerCity Projects. They began to imagine different ways they could create interactions in the world around us, using the exigencies of figure-ground from painting and the gesture ritual of movement. Parker brings her insight as a mover and installation artist to Wood-Brown’s two-dimensional and sculptural forms. Together their work bridges the boundaries of time and place. They reference ancient and modern archetypes that have persisted throughout time and explore the needs of humanity to live and dream despite the fabricated boundaries of this world.
