A TALK SHOW by LIZN’BOW :: Liz Ferrer + Bow Tie

1.20.2018

Project Space + Cunsthaus

Miami-based artists and children’s rights activists Liz Ferrer and Bow Tie work collectively as LIZN’BOW, dedicated to empowering children and youths. They state, “We are interested in learning from kids as much as we are in teaching them.” LIZN’BOW are Tempus Projects Artists in Residence for the month of January, and present collaborative artworks at both the Project Space and Cunsthaus.

Beginning January 12th, LIZN’BOW are conducting New Media workshops focused on deconstructing identity, self, and place – all realized through the talk show format. These workshops are in collaboration with participants ages 7–14 from Community Stepping Stones in Sulphur Springs, a nonprofit organization dedicated to using an arts-infused curriculum to inspire, educate, mentor and prepare at-risk youth to become successful adults. Participants will learn basic video editing and storytelling skills, and will exhibit their final artworks at Cunsthaus as part of the exhibition A Talk Show with LIZN’BOW.

LIZN’BOW was formed in 2015 by Liz Ferrer and Bow Tie. Ferrer earned her BFA in Theatre from Florida International University, and Tie earned their BFA in Digital Arts from the University of Oregon and their MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The collective has produced workshops at the Bass Museum, Miami; Breakthrough Miami Outreach; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami.
