ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Kristina Isabelle
http://www.kristinaisabelledance.com/
"My work responds to and refines the shape-shifting world around us by revealing and illuminating humanity. Shape, form, politics. I match the extreme emotional states with states of extreme physical attention." - Kristina Isabelle
Matt Bodett
http://www.mattbodett.com/
"As an artist with a disability, diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder in 2005, I utilize art as a roadmap for the world I have experienced, and a social critique for the world I am in." - Matt Bodett
Kara Jackson
https://karajackson.bandcamp.com/
Kara Jackson was the 2019 Youth Poet Laureate of The United States. "She is a poet, musician, songwriter, singer, and all-around performing artist. Just as often as Kara focuses on the particular items and nameable moments of our day-to-day lives, the forces of white supremacy, of misogyny and white male exceptionalism are found in the cross-hairs of Kara Jackson's poetry." -- Callosum
Bone & Bell
http://www.boneandbell.com/
Led by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Heather C. D. Smith, Bone & Bell creates delicately crafted songs with haunting melodies, finger-picked guitar, and swirling instrumentation. Her unique chordal structures and rich voice weave together to form a dissonant prayer, both heavenly and tension filled.

Mary Lattimore
https://www.facebook.com/harpistmarylattimore/
Mary Lattimore is a harpist living in Los Angeles. She experiments with her Lyon and Healy Concert Grand harp and effects.
Bobby Conn & Monica BouBou
https://bobbyconn.bandcamp.com/
"With his whip-smart glam-soul jams, Bobby Conn has been blowtorching advertising triplespeak, blind money lust, and corporate fascism for nearly three decades. At this point, he's undisputedly Chicago's most subversive rock star!" --the Chicago Reader
