As part of the Cinema Arts Festival Houston, Aurora will co-present a free screening for all ages at the TBH Center. Miwa Matreyek will present her latest performance – Myth and Infrastructure. Matreyek performs in a multi-media production using projected animation she has created.  Her shadow becomes an integral part of a fantastical world: she traverses oceanscapes and cityscapes as she conjures magical domestic scenes with light and shadow. 

Matreyek is an internationally recognized animator, designer, and multi-media artist based in Los Angeles. Her work explores how animation transforms when it is combined with body and space (and vice-versa).  In her video project-based installations, animation takes on a more physical and present quality, while body and space take on a more fantastical quality. 

In addition to Myth and Infrastructure, Matreyek will perform her installation/performance piece, Dreaming of Lucid Living, a sensation at the TED global conference in 2010, as well as several of her animated films, including Grater City and Machine. Miwa will also present a multi-screen installation, Panorama City, in the TBH Gallery.
