About Our Participating Fellows:
Dani Levine is an artist and educator living in Astoria, NY. Mixing pigments, binders, and other found materials, her alchemical practice questions assumptions about craft and abstraction. In recent paintings, she converses with queer-feminist aesthetics to explore themes of chance, agency, and resilience—ideas that recur throughout her work. As an educator and lecturer at schools such as Pratt Institute, Princeton University, and Boston University, she aims to expand conversations about color as material, linking its history and contemporary uses to narratives of trade, science, and sociocultural ideas. She received her MFA from the Yale School of Art and BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Select honors include exhibitions at Sikkema Jenkins & Co, My Pet Ram, The Alfred Museum, SOLOWAY, and The Abrons Arts Center. In 2023, she was selected to be Artist in Residence at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
José De Sancristóbal is an artist and wannabe translator. For the past three years, he’s used photography, video, film, and writing to consider different functions lens-based images perform within the configuration of the nation-state. His recent films and videos draw equally upon formal rigor and fantasy, producing self-differing subjects and objects. Informed by the camera’s history as a tool to regulate citizens and their movement, his work disorganizes established identification techniques by viewing them through the lens of unmeasurable practices: fiction, role-play, memory, translation, and magical realism are used to poke holes in those devices purporting to administer the self—such as passport photographs, biographical information, legal status, or national borders.
Kai Conradi is a poet and fiction writer who grew up on K’ómoks territory in Cumberland, B.C. Their work has appeared in Poetry, The Malahat Review, Grain, PRISM, and Best Canadian Stories, and been shortlisted for the Journey Prize. Kai received an MFA from the University of Victoria, and is the recipient of funding from the BC Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. They are currently at work on a novel and a full-length poetry collection.
- C. Mallon is a graduate of the University of East Anglia and holds an MFA in fiction from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. She is a writer of literary fiction, working with a heavy emphasis on themes of masculinity, violence, and the shrapnel radius of serious trauma across communities and generations. Having taken early influence from modernist poetry and beat literature, she carries an abiding interest in the implicit interplay between the sound of a word and its meaning, endeavoring to construct prose that can be heard and felt, first, by the reader, furnished in sound and in picture a split second prior to conscious understanding. She works with a narrative focus on purgatorial places, characters damned and haunted, landscapes arresting and hostile, informal, dark spirituality, and sometimes the transformative spirit of a good dog. She prefers magic powers over straight realism. She is so thankful to be here.
