Project Facilitator: Natasha Marin Natasha Marin is a poet and interdisciplinary artist. In 2006 and 2007, she received funding and support from the City of Austin, the Texas Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts for her interactive multimedia project entitled Graduate-Level Graffiti. As part of this project, her work was translated into Japanese, ASL (American Sign Language), Spanish, Nepalese, Marathi and Chinese and was adapted into a dynamic multi-media art event open to the community. Working collaboratively has become a crucial component of Marin's creative process. In 2006, Monkey Paradox Productions released Strangers, an experimental 12-minute video which explores Marins artistic relationship with underground Japanese cyberartist, Kenji Siratori. The following year, Hypermodern Records (Japan) released their noise/poetry collaboration entitled Morifuso. Her work has been published in several journals including: International Poetry Review, English Journal, Feminist Studies Journal, The Caribbean Writer, and the African American Review. She has performed at venues across the country, including the Seattle Art Museum, the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin, TX, and the Nuyorican Café in New York. Currently, she lives and works in Seattle, WA and is represented by 45WEST STUDIOS in Vancouver, Canada.
