HEATHER KAPPLOW, from Allston, is doing an artist residency at ZK/U Center for Arts and Urbanistics (Berlin) in November/December and then will continue to Hamburg to collaborate with performing artist, cultural worker and researcher Danja Burchard to develop a project that lays the artistic research groundwork for a future-oriented project exploring ephemeral artistic interventions that pay tribute to our subtle ways of creating culture in our daily lives.
CHAIA (KAIA BERMAN PETERS), from Cambridge, works on and performs a three-part immersive audio-visual installation with visual jockey Dan Tombs. The installation, Hofn Stantsye reflects on Jewish nationalism and homeland: past, present, and future. Each part of the installation includes live electronic music performed on a SP-404 sampler, visuals projected on the ceiling and walls, and audience participation. The installation will premiere at the Shtetl Berlin Festival in December.
