Join us Wednesday, July 28th at the Castle for presentations by current Fellows Hannah Kendall & Annu Palakunnathu Matthew.
Hannah Kendall, Music, UK
Kendall’s work has been widely celebrated. She has created pieces such as Disillusioned Dreamer (2018), which the San Francisco Chronicle praised for having a ‘rich inner life’, as well as The Knife of Dawn (2016), a chamber opera that received critical acclaim for its involving and claustrophobic representation of the incarceration of Guyanese political activist Martin Carter. Her work has been performed extensively, and across many platforms. Born in London in 1984, Kendall is based in New York City as a Doctoral Fellow in composition at Columbia University.
Annu Palakunnathu Matthew, Visual Arts, USA/India/UK
Annu Palakunnathu Matthew’s photo-based artwork is a striking blend of still and moving imagery. Her larger work draws on archival photographs to confront the colonial archive and its reverberations in the US and South Asia. Matthew’s exhibitions include the Royal Ontario Museum, sepiaEYE, MFA Boston, MFA Houston, Victoria & Albert Museum, RISD Museum, 2018 Kochi-Muziris Biennale, and the Smithsonian. She has been an artist in residence at Yaddo, Lightwork, and MacDowell.
Matthew is a Professor of Art at the University of Rhode Island and is represented by sepiaEYE, NYC.
