SELECTED ARTIST | Pivot Arts Festival /February 2, 2021 by Heidi Wiren Kebe

We have been selected to perform in the upcoming PIVOT ARTS Festival: Reimagining Utopia in Chicago, IL!

The Utopian Performance Tour is an in-person event where small groups of masked audiences will be led through spaces including video and art installations, animation, and theater and dance performances. This collection of artistic experiences was inspired by the theme of the 2021 Pivot Arts Festival, Reimagining Utopia.

“They laid a foundation interconnecting violence and names, materials and memorials, being site-responsive and current event responsive. The connections have been made, and I am curious to see how they will unfold.”

— Kristen Shahverdian in response to "Call Her By Her Name: Lenape Sippu" by Propelled Animals, Cherry St. Pier, June 24, 2022.

We were honored to receive a USArtists International Grant for our participation in the In/Out Festival in Burkina Faso in February 2021. Due to COVID-19 restrictions we shifted our project to Philadelphia where we partnered with The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education for our piece UNLOCK.
