TRANSFORMATIVE NARRATIVES
Transformative Narratives is a collective founded by Tony Wagner and Lena Kuzmich that initiates performative and audiovisual experiences through transdisciplinary world-building. Linking stories, molding characters, and shaping glimpses of imaginary landscapes, the collective seeks to unravel transformative forces of the self, as well as the power of collective growth and radical care. Mutualism provides both theme and methodology to combine experimental music, visual arts, and text. Their projects disclose the queering of kinship, weaving personal stories into shared immersive experiences. In their recent work, Transformative Narratives explore multi-species worlds, thereby relearning how space is negotiated and communities formed.

Lena Kuzmich (they/them) is a visual artist working between moving image, bio-art, and installation. In their ongoing artistic research, Kuzmich explores how other modes of biological being and the more-than-human world can rewire one’s human sense of, and positioning in, the world. Their work uses a variety of artistic mediums as gateways and entry points for multi-species encounters. Blurring the boundaries between science and fiction, and between human and non-human domains, their work invites viewers to inhabit speculative worlds in the making.
