Zekarias Musele Thompson and Lee Crandall at the Living Room Light Exchange

Check out the Living Room Light Exchange tonight to support two of our amazing grad students!

Zekarias Musele Thompson is an artist based in Oakland, CA, and Reykjavík, IS, often working with sonic composition, photography, collaborative group practice & performance, writing, and mark-making. Their practice is concerned with humanity’s conceptual and emotional organizational structures and how we bring them into material form.

Jillian (Lee) Crandall is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Geography at UC Berkeley, broadly researching the effects of blockchain/crypto and digital technologies on infrastructures, lands, and lives. Their work intersects queer/trans/feminist digital geographies and political economies with a focus on socio-spatial design justice.

Both will participate in the third exchange of Season 9 for The Living Room Light Exchange (LRLX), a monthly salon dedicated to new media art forms and dialogues that meet in rotating living rooms. In each ‘season’ of LRLX, they hold monthly salons where we curate three artists or cultural producers who present recent work.
