Tinkel Binkel Corp 

Founded in autumn 2019 AD and before they were born, Tinkel Binkel Corp.® is a registered trademark of the present times. During a two week slow-train journey through China, the founders, BK and AK, developed a 10-point Manifesto born from their experiences of longing, communication errors, and the freeing limitations that come from being stuck to the rail. Using this finely-tuned Manifesto as a foundation and springboard for relating to one another and the whirled at large, Tinkel Binkel Corp. hopes to proliferate their rhetoric in as many spheres as possible. The Corp. works in several mediums of life, including conversation, interview, identity-switch, film, novel, song, meal-creation and poem. Their primary means of gathering content is via spying — the fly on the wall talks back!

Christal Pérez and Karla Ekatherine Canseco

The performances of Karla Canseco and Christal Perez are situated as rhizomatic investigations – at times taking on the position of a deconstruction of language – the signifiers, symbols, bastard associations, the creation and (eventual) destruction of the Anthropocene, the analysis of their respective cultures that follow lineages that migrate out of the global south into the deceitful embrace of (necro)capitalism, the (dis)logic of multiculturalism as a quantifier of change – progress – optimism all while in dialogue (even if refuting, recapitulating, rupturing) the myths of aesthetics, (meta)(sub)culture and (post)(anti)modernism.

Jackie Amézquita

Jackie Amézquita (b. 1985) is a bi-national artist/activist. Amézquita was born in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, and migrated to the United States in 2003. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from ArtCenter College of Design and an Associate degree in Visual Communications from Los Angeles Valley College. She is an MFA Candidate in the New Genres program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) 2022. She is currently living and working in Los Angeles, California.

Amézquita’s work explores the psycho-socio-geographical and political interactivity of different ethnic groups. She is interested in exploring the impact that two opposing cultures create on their social environment and how socioeconomic differences between cultures affect the social structure. The types of jobs people do, the amount of money they can earn, and the quality of land they occupy are factors which play a role in defining racial groups in society, each with its own concerns, interests, values, and attitudes.

As a result of her experiences as an immigrant woman, her practice has been influenced by her relationship to borders and the interaction with different cultures around the world. The artist has incorporated the use domestics and construction making techniques to explore a visual language that rebalances the power of socio-political relationships. This practice has allowed her to intertwine historical and contemporary references.

Jasmine Orpilla

JASMINE ORPILLA is an Ilocana/x-American, performance artist and composer of experimental theatrical sound installations, in which she activates her living traditional practices of music, dance and family rituals within the contemporary, yet ever-eroding frame of her own 1st-generation schism from both Imperialist history and the U.S. military culture of her childhood. An awarded international performer who takes space with renown art, theatre and opera directors on stages worldwide, her voice continues to disrupt the status-quo institutions of genre, gender- and racial- stereotypes she encounters in those spaces today.

Jorge Espinosa

Jorge Espinosa is a Los Angeles based artist, musician, educator and designer born in Quito, Ecuador. He is interested in creating sonic and visual scenarios where he can explore ideas of power, and the context where such dynamics happens. This is an opportunity for him to reflect on who he is, and where he stands regarding certain topics. Even though he sometimes uses accurate historical facts as a source, he is also interested in the fictional side of history. He is not pretending to document a conflict, but to model a scenario with found elements where a new one can be created. His work is equally informed by radio soap operas and news reports, and navigates in between music exploration, the recreation of personal and collective memories through soundscapes and visual scenarios.

Some of this work is very specific to certain places or audiences since it draws from particular codes and references. Not all pieces should function the same everywhere, making it interesting to see how they could change depending on who’s the audience and where it’s presented.

Middle Ear Project

Middle Ear Project (Los Angeles) was founded by Jennifer Bewerse and Cassia Streb, a design team who has been performing, curating, and producing concerts together since 2014. We are endlessly fascinated by the discourse created when pieces of music are thoughtfully juxtaposed, and how exploring different artistic answers to the same question can illuminate interesting complexities instead of straightforward solutions. We find real satisfaction in coordinating concerts that are rich and complex, something that listeners can dig their ears into.

Over the years, we’ve gained a tremendous amount of experience working with performing ensembles, presenting organizations and venues, often working with many of these within a single project. We launched this concert design project in order to join forces and make our skills available to artists beyond those already involved in our personal ventures.

We share a focused work ethic, a deep dedication to our work and musical communities, and we recognize that the success of our events is built around a community of artists and presenting organizations. By putting different composers, compositions, and performance techniques in conversation with the social structures of a concert, we help create a sum that is greater than its parts. In short: better concerts.

Panteha Abareshi

Panteha Abareshi is a 21-year old artist based in LA. Her work is rooted in her existence as a chronically ill/disabled body existing with multiple medical illnesses, at the root of which is sickle cell zero beta thalassemia- a genetic blood disorder that causes debilitating pain, and bodily deterioration that both increase with age. Through her work, she aims to discuss the complexities of living within a body that is highly monitored, constantly examined, and made to feel like a specimen. Taking images that are recognizable as “human” forms, and reducing them to the gestural is a juxtaposition of her own body’s objectification, and dissection. Through her performance work, she pushes her body to, and often beyond, the limits of its ability. The radicalized abjectification of her own corporeal form allows for a continued examination of her bodily deterioration, and its connection to a larger context of universal fragility fear, pain and mortality. In her video work and installations, she aims to make the viewer hyper-aware of their own body, and actively employ accessibility as a tool, both withholding and over-extending it as a means of casting light onto the ill/disabled experience. With every piece, her practice traces and documents her body’s malfunction, and its disintegration. With this deterioration comes implantation of medical devices, prosthetics, and the use of mobility aids. Her body is the primary medium in her practice, and these materials become vital to the visual language of her work. Currently, she is contemplating the prosthesis, and simultaneous abstraction.

Sarah Gail Armstrong

My Inspiration comes from experiencing life, and the many emotions that come with existing.There is a colorfulness and boldness to my work, that reflects how I view and relate to the world. Oftentimes, my art is a representation of a fantasy, dream, or vision I’ve had; thus, giving me permission to further explore my dreams, and fantasies. General themes in my work include nature, sexuality, racism, romance, spirituality, gender, and self-expression.

My existence as a dark-skinned, Black, nonbinary, femme is constantly under attack. Thriving and creating work that stems from a goal of a pro-Black peaceful future actively combats the white cis hetero male patriarchy. Being vulnerable enough to bear myself to the world empowers me, and others like me to live a life of our choosing. In much of my work, I take advantage of my privilege and use art to speak out against local and/or global injustices that are occurring.
