About Joe Namy

Joe Namy is an artist and educator, often working collaboratively across performance, sculpture, photography, text, and video. Their projects often focus on the social constructs of music and organized sound, such as the pageantry and politics of opera, the noise laws and gender dynamics of bass, the colors and tones of militarization, the migration patterns of instruments and songs, and the complexities of translation in all this - from language to language, from score to sound, from drum to dance.
