SUMMARY:Pecha Kucha @ Current Space
DESCRIPTION:Pecha Kucha is visual storytelling format where each presenter prepares and shares exactly 20 slides. The presentation is set to automatically advance every 20 seconds\, ensuring a fun and fast-paced night of engaging talks. Get a glimpse into the past\, current\, and future musings of folks doing creative\, inspiring\, and unique work here in Baltimore! \nPlease join us at our very first Pecha Kucha night! \nIncluding:\n– Se Jong Cho (Artist and environmental scientist)\n– Margo Csipo (Art jeweler\, instructor at the Baltimore Jewelry Center\, and studio tech at MICA)\n– Alyssa Dennis (Interdisciplinary artist\, educator\, clinical herbalist\, earth activist\, and dirt worshiper)\n– Bao Nguyen (Experimental vocalist and performance artist )\n– Sarah Ruberto (Owner & Designer\, Pomona Floral)\n– Elena Volkova (Photographer)\n– Barbara Willey (Architectural designer) \nTalks begin at 7\, but the Current Space Garden Bar is open starting at 5\, with happy hour from 5-7pm. \nBios:\nBorn in Seoul\, SE JONG CHO makes art to explore the extent of her imagination and broaden her creative domain. She began painting while pursuing her PhD in environmental engineering at Johns Hopkins University. Her training as a scientist taught her to become observant and think critically\, and she cultivated her brand of creative expression that combines multidisciplinary perspectives. \nMargo Csipo is an emerging art jeweler\, an instructor at the Baltimore Jewelry Center\, and a studio tech at MICA. Csipo has a BFA in Industrial Design from the Massachusetts College of Art and is heavily influenced by narrative-based art forms like film\, animation\, and illustration. Tapping into her lived experience as a Queer artist and first-generation Hungarian immigrant\, Csipo creates illustrated compositions with discerning material combinations. \nAlyssa Dennis is an interdisciplinary artist\, educator\, clinical herbalist\, earth activist\, and dirt worshiper. She acquired a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art\, an MFA from Tulane University\, and an advanced degree in clinical herbalism from Arbor Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism. She has also received training in permaculture\, indigenous plant medicine of Peru\, strawbale and adobe building\, and green roof construction. She is concerned with how manufactured landscapes have shaped our relationships with non-human life and ultimately our own bodies. Her art practice deconstructs our engagement with industrialized spaces and seeks to inspire societal shifts toward green building\, biophilic design\, and indigenous practices of land stewardship. The overlapping structures\, in her drawings\, depict these relationships in intersecting or deviating lines between protection\, dominion and symbiosis. \nBao Nguyen (they/them) is an experimental vocalist and performance artist born in Vietnam and based in Baltimore. Through performance\, sound\, video and interactive media\, Bao’s practice examines oral traditions to reconsider the history of Vietnamese nation-building and devise new connections between ourselves and the landscape. Bao completed their BFA at Maryland Institute College of Art and is pursuing their MFA at University of Maryland\, Baltimore County. \nSarah Ruberto is the owner of Pomona Floral\, a floral design studio based in Baltimore\, inspired by mythology and the natural world. \nElena Volkova is a Ukrainian-born interdisciplinary artist and educator\, whose creative practice uses historic and contemporary photographic techniques to explore complex themes of domesticity\, liminality\, and subjective experience. Volkova has been a fellow at Hamiltonian Artists\, exhibited her work nationally and internationally\, and received several recognitions and awards in support of her creative practice\, including Janis Meyer Traveling Fellowship\, Corcoran Women’s Committee Grant\, MD State Arts Council Creativity Grant\, Baltimore Municipal Art Society Travel Prize\, and Rubys Grant. Volkova has been a social practice resident artist at Maryland Center for History and Culture\, Anacostia Arts Center\, and Maker General among others\, and her work is included in various private and public collections\, including Baltimore Museum of Art and MDHC. Volkova resides in Baltimore\, MD and teaches Photography at Stevenson University. \nBarbara Willey’s architectural background serves as a strong foundation upon which she builds her artistic endeavors\, infusing them with a keen understanding of space\, balance\, and design principles. While completing her B.Arch\, Barbara primarily used digital design tools and fabrication to enhance her study of “architectural fractures\, grafts and transplants.” This duality is a quest to harmonize her passions and connect with her Brazilian-American upbringing. \n——- \nThis is our first Pecha Kucha\, but we hope to continue with many more. The next night in the series will be Oct 4 and then will pick up again in the spring when the Current Space Garden Bar reopens. \nInteresting in sharing at a future event? Please email currentspace@gmail.com with the subject line “Pecha Kucha Proposal” – include a short description of what you’d like to talk about and a link to your website (if relevant). \n——-\nThis outdoor event will be held in our rear courtyard.
