Collaborating multi-media artists, Jes Reyes (she/they) and Kiera Faber (she/her), orchestrate visual dialogues, embracing vulnerability and trust through a process that delves into finding the self through translation and mitigating the blurred distinction between enmeshment and connectivity. Faber, a stop-frame animator and artist, explores the repercussions of loss and trauma while infusing a deference for mysticism and truths found in the natural wild to percolate in the unconscious. Her work has screened internationally in eleven countries and received a Fellowship in Media Arts from the McKnight Foundation, two production grants from the Jerome Foundation and numerous regional grants. Reyes is an interdisciplinary artist, artist organizer, and teaching artist. Her work is rooted in play, vulnerability, experimentation, collaboration, and the blending of disciplines. She has exhibited her artwork throughout Minnesota and has been funded by the Minnesota State Arts Board Creative Individuals and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.
