- Marissa Moorman received a CAHI workshop/conference grant for "Victor Gama: SOL(t)O" a solo performance by musician, composer, and instrument builder Victor Gama. Gama is an internationally recognized artist whose work defies conventional boundaries. He is an inventor, a builder, a composer, and a musician. He is from Angola but currently based in Belgium. He has done commissioned works for the Kronos Quartet, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the Gulbenkian Foundation. Gama's work is deeply researched - he studied the history of South African nuclear weapons testing at Stanford's Hoover archives and did ethnographic work in the Amazon - and his instruments are steeped in symbolism - one inspired by birds' nests in Southern Angola, another evokes the footprint of a dinosaur. Gama will perform at the Buskirk Chumley theater in downtown Bloomington.
