ABOUT THE ARTISTeddy kwon (b. 1989) is violinist/violist and interdisciplinary artist based in Lenapehoking (Brooklyn, NY). Her practice connects composition, performance, improvisation, dance, and ceremony to explore transformation &amp; transgression, ritual practice as a tool to queer ancestral lineage, and the use of mythology to connect, obscure, and reveal. As a composer-performer and improviser, she is inspired by Korean folk timbres &amp; inflections, textures &amp; movement from natural environments, and American experimentalism as shaped by the AACM. Her work as a choreographer and movement artist embodies an expressive release and reclamation of colonialism’s spiritual imprints, connecting to both Japanese Butoh and a lineage of queer/trans practitioners of Korean shamanic ritual.She is a United States Artists Fellow, Johnson Fellow at Americans for the Arts, Andrew W. Mellon Artist-in-Residence at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Van Lier Fellow and Artist-in-Residence at Roulette Intermedium, and a recipient of the National Performance Network Creation Fund Award. Recently, eddy was featured in The Wire Magazine’s Issue #463 (“absolutely stunning”) and as one of the Washington Post’s “22 for ‘22: Composers and performers to watch this year.” In addition to an evolving, interdisciplinary solo practice, she collaborates with artists of diverse disciplines, including The Art Ensemble of Chicago, cellist Tomeka Reid, sculptor Senga Nengudi, Degenerate Art Ensemble, Holland Andrews, and many others.www.eddykwon.net
