Cornell " LORD JUDAH "Carelock

As a teaching artist, I always seek to create a lively exchange of ideas among many different communities.  As an artist, I also embrace my role to introduce new modes of thinking and doing and serving creative people.  I always focus on collaboration and group learning through active, participatory experiences utilizing music and visual art.  As an artist, I am interested in where art will go and can go in this particular cultural moment.  I am a firm believer that open resources make it possible to exchange knowledge and information with lightning speed.  I would consider myself an adventurous practitioner who loves to explore art through mindful and creative experiments.  The goal of my artistic expression and workshops are to make sure people of all backgrounds gain access to exciting ideas and new practices.
