Well known on the experimental electronic music scene, Chaka Benson @chakabenson uses modular and video synthesis to capture his aesthetic as informed by Philadelphia’s streets, raw soul, and DIY spirit.
Blush Something @blush_something is a musician, performer, video artist, and organizer living in West Philly. Her work centers on education, collaboration, and connection across communities.
Gralin Hughes, Jr. (aka Television Sky) @tvsky_gralin is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sound and visuals, merging these forms through projection mapping, audio/visual live performance, and installation art.
