Sasha Kolodkin is a Baltimore-bred, Brooklyn-based playwright, poet, and performer.  A recent graduate of SUNY Purchase, she spends her days writing, studying drama, and devising new ways to degrade and destabilize the more dastardly departments of the United States Government (when she isn’t daydreaming at her disinteresting day job).  She is also a dramaturgical consultant for The Cameri Theatre, and a school ambassador with PFLAG.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sa’dia Rehman is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is fueled by a critical exploration of Muslim American affinity and how it intersects with race, power and gender. Through performance, video, installation and large-scale wall drawing, Rehman pulls apart and puts together “images of consumption” — family photographs, mass media and art historical images. She has shared her work internationally and nationally. sadiarehman.com
