About the Artists
Niema Qureshi is an interdisciplinary artist and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Since 2011, she has been a teaching artist with Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education (CAPE), collaborating with Chicago Public School teachers to develop and co-teach arts-integrated curricula that fuse art and new technologies with contemporary practices. Her research focuses on engaging underrepresented youth in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).
Norman Long’s work centers on walking, listening, improvising, performing, teaching, field recording, and exploring memory, place, ecology, and race. Long has performed and exhibited at venues including Yale University’s Center for Collaborative Arts & Media in New Haven, CT, High Zero Festival in Baltimore, MD, and Chicago Humanities Festival, IL. Long has performed and toured with Angel Bat Dawid & the Brothahood, Honey Pot Performance Spectralina, Damon Locks, and many others. He has released his compositions on labels such as Hausu Mountain, Reserve Matinee, LINE, and Room40. Anemoi is the latest ensemble release with Ishmael Ali, William Harris, and Wills McKenna. His solo album, BLACK BROWN GRAY GREEN, was released in September 2021 on Hausu Mountain, and Return and Recovery is his latest solo release on LINE.
