Movement Love

Maggie Benoit’s objective is to produce enriching experiences that bolster the arts alongside entrepreneurial efforts in Atlanta. Her focus is to strengthen a community driven network, a conversation, a connection to resources and a place for beings to express constructively. This way the individual and community grow by staying curious, asking questions, creating solutions, as well as learning constructs of both personal and social space. The question arises, “how does one define the ability to connect the intimately personal to another tangibly?” Such an expression means finding love for self, love for another, love for something that holds meaning. Sharing said experience defines a landscape of varied media through intentional integration of work and life.

Meredith Kooi (b. 1985, Chicago, IL) is an artist, curator, educator, critic, and researcher based in Atlanta. Driven by curiosity and an eagerness to understand the places, experiences, and emotional conditions in which she finds herself, Meredith uses performance, radio, audio, installation, drawing, writing, and the web, among other mediums to dig into the materials of history, stories, narratives, and natural history to uncover what may have been concealed. Working collaboratively, Meredith allows the thoughts, motivations, and desires of others to challenge her own perceptions and methods. Working independently, Meredith critically examines her own history and body, recognizing that each are not selfsame, coherent, or discrete entities. Whether solo or collaborative, Meredith’s projects produce space for a multiplicity of conversations that may contradict each other, but work together to create a shared world. Meredith herself is in recovery.
