In her talk she will present her work from the last decade, the progression from representation in painting to the creation of objects and the juxtaposition of materials, lace and cement. The lecture will explore how meaning is derived from materials and how content leads to form. Safran-Hon will share her sources of inspiration, influences and the development of her work.

SPOUT
By Jeremy Lesifko-Bremer
Directed by Marisa Conroy

Water, that everlasting, glistening lifeforce… how can we keep the stream going? Sasha, a jaded hiker from someplace
sad, asks this question until language is exhausted and the Anthropocene ends. Sasha learns from the water-about
precarity and insecurity and one’s responsibilities when in a changed world.

WAKE UP
By Kenneth Keng
Directed by Annaporva Green

Watched over by a three story tall corpse god, Balan assembles their blade by taking the lives and weapons of their former friends. They may see their journey culminate in a kind of freedom, but only if the audience lets them.
