World Building as Relational Practice

September 23

5:30 PM - 7:30 PM ET

A Topique Artist Talk Proudly copresented by DARC & Friends

Join interdisciplinary media artist Nancy Lee at Artengine on September 23 for an intimate artist talk exploring the ideas, contexts, and practices behind their works presented during Pique. Nancy will share more about OSMOSi: 422 Unprocessable Entity, situating the performance within the ideas, influences, and processes that shape it. This conversation provides an opportunity to encounter the work through Nancy’s own reflections before experiencing the performance at Pique later that week.

The talk will also expand into Nancy’s curatorial practice, including their work with CURRENT and Chapel Sound, and their ongoing commitment to creating space for queer and underrepresented artists. Through a combination of presentation, artist talk, interview, and Q&A, Nancy will connect with audiences in an intimate and intentional way, opening up conversations around performance, curation, community, and the possibilities of cross-genre artistic practice.
