The Waves

Cameron A. Granger came up in Cleveland, Ohio alongside his mother, Sandra, inheriting both a love of soul music, and a certain way of apologizing too much. A 2017 resident of the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, his work explores his place in, and role as a product of American history and its media. His most recent projects include “Ten Toes Down” at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, “Pearl” a body of collaborative works with his mother at Ctrl+Shft in Oakland, and “A library, for you” a traveling community library.

Rohan Ayinde is a Chicago based artist, writer and curator. A recent Masters graduate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago he is the recipient of the New Artist Society Scholarship and The MA Visual and Critical Studies Graduate Fellowship Award. His interdisciplinary work is centered around creating "otherwise" potentials (Ashon Crawley) and in so doing breaking down and simultaneously reconfiguring the ideological architectures that shape our daily and generational lives. Most often the landscapes he explores are rooted in questions about quantum physics, black radical aesthetics and architecture. Rohan is a 2020 Curatorial Fellow with ACRE and has work forthcoming in a publication by Green Lantern Press.

Joshi Radin is an artist and writer living in Chicago. She generates and examines practices of valuation and questions investigating nature, cosmology and expanded landscape using video, print media, photography, writing and performance. Drawing on childhood experiences living within an experimental, utopian back to the land community, Radin traces historical and genealogical roots of utopianism and nature through imagery and processes as spaces of knowledge production. Current work focuses on examining nodes of intersection with contemporary ecological, scientific and anthropological approaches to narrating the global imaginary. Her work was published in the anthology Why Look At Plants? The Botanical Emergence in Contemporary Art (2018), ed. by Giovanni Aloi; recently she is the recipient of a 2019 community education grant from the Illinois Power Agency and will be a September fellow at the Vermont Studio Center. She is a merit scholar graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s MFA in Photography (2016) and MA in Visual and Critical Studies (2018) programs.
