About the Artist: M’Kenzy Cannon
M’Kenzy Cannon is an artist, writer, and filmmaker from Nashville, now based in New York City. Having graduated from Emerson College with a BFA in Visual Media Arts Production, her work blends experimental techniques of film and video with performance and installation. Her recent practice has involved creative archiving — the intersection of research, art, and archival design, specifically in relation to digital realms and found objects.

About The Curator: Maya Rubio
Maya Rubio is a curator and arts writer haunted by Louise Bourgeois’s Art21 interview proclamation: “Art doesn’t have to be explained.” Rubio’s practice aims to magnify affect — those raw feelings, instincts, and associations roused by encountering an art object or space. Theatre enraptured the passions of then second grade Rubio — an enchantment which has transformed into a multidisciplinary fascination with the energetic exchanges resonating between humans and art. She is guided by a love for community, curiosity, magic, and god.
Rubio has worked on several exhibitions at Emerson College, where she studied the business of creative enterprises and art history. She is a project assistant at art_works, an editorial assistant on the staff of Boston Art Review, and an after school teacher at Underwood Elementary School.
