While immersed in three overlapping projections, Miss Shereen stages actions, orations and sounds. Brueckner reacts using analogue effects created by hand-manipulated materials. Assisting, artist Ashkan Nejadebrahimi tilts and pans the live feed camera view. Intermixing randomly disrupted sentences along with the visual collaged effects anticipates both ruptured and unified metaphors throughout the spontaneous performance. Collectively, these improvisations cryptically allude to personal narratives, ongoing struggles, ancestors’ lost languages, and the mutual hope of accomplishment.

Miss Shereen Ramprashad is a classically trained illustrator and multi-disciplinary artist who’s practice involves performance, sound art, spoken word, video, and crocheting. She marches to her own creativity regardless of trends. To Miss Shereen, art is life and life is art. Media coverage of performances and writing includes the Winnipeg Free Press. Studied at Sheridan College, Toronto.

Derek Brueckner is a visual artist and university educator. His most recent work is expressed through video harvested from socially collaborative and unscripted performances. He has collaborated with Miss Shereen intermittently since 2009. Collectively his work is interested in how the human body, when expressed through a combination of traditional media (painting, drawing & collage), digital technologies, and time-based disciplines such as video and performance, can be re-inscribed and re-imagined through a process of improvisations and facilitated play. Artist residencies for his work and research include spaces in Chicago, Italy, Vermont, Brooklyn, New Orleans, and Toronto. Solo exhibitions and participatory projects in the USA include arts spaces in Brooklyn, Queens, and New Orleans. He also co-hosts an arts radio talk show on CKUW 95.9 FM at the University of Winnipeg. Media coverage of work includes Globe & Mail, Border Crossings, Queens Courier Magazine, and the NOLA Defender. Awarded grants from Manitoba Arts Council, Winnipeg Arts Council and Vermont Studio Center. Education includes MFA from Hunter College, City University of New York.

We acknowledge the involvement of Ashkan Nejadebrahimi in the project's development and performances.
