As part of the CalArts Residency at The REEF, I will be creating programming and opportunities for bringing science and art communities together through research, workshops and lab/studio visits. With my own practice being so research-oriented, I am interested in creating dialogues surrounding the future of art and science and where theses fields overlap. The CRISPR Institute is a continuation of Donna Harraway's ideology of the Chthululscene, which is an attempt at ideological entanglements of inter-species collaborations in the shadow of the end of the Anthropocene. 

​

The CRISPR Institute will be working with these components as part of it's programming:

​

-An artist + scientist matchmaking service.

-Art workshops/ demos

-Visiting Scientists

-Artist lecturers

-Offsite fieldrips

-Curated nature excursions 

-Performance nights

-Art shows

​
