TBA:19 FESTIVAL

Nivhek's 2019 album, After its own death/Walking in a spiral towards the house, has been described by the artist as “a requiem, a ritual, to unlock and release feelings,” a sense of shadowy masses, moving backwards, in spirals, massive doorways opening chaotic forces, “a toxic concentrated reduction of something much darker bubbling beneath.” On the final night of this year's TBA Festival, Nivhek + guests invite the audience to participate in Requiem, an immersive evening of ethereal performance, film, and sound, with textures of reflection dipped in impressions of deconstruction and decay. Nivhek is a recording and performing project by Liz Harris. She lives and works on the Oregon Coast.

Dicky Bahto lives in Los Angeles. He has exhibited work utilizing still and motion picture photography, sound, and performance at a variety of museums, galleries, microcinemas, film festivals, conferences, alternative spaces, and scenic locations spanning the Northern Hemisphere.

January Hunt is a Brooklyn based musician and artist exploring the malleability of body and technology as a resistance to/refuge from the dominant culture through rearranging her skin suit, manipulating biology, and re-shaping electricity. She performs under her own name, as New Castrati, among other aliases.
