The third Pedantic cohort landed in Pittsburgh last week. We’re thrilled to host them for the next month and are looking forward to seeing the connections they create with one another as well as with the city. Join us on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 to welcome and meet our third Pedantic cohort. Our first international group, the Pedantic Residents will be giving brief presentations on their backgrounds and their practices.

This summer’s three residents include Akea Brionne, a Creole lens-based artist and researcher based in Detroit, MI, whose work is rooted in an interdisciplinary exploration of the Black experience in America, with emphasis on the relationship between Black women and social geography; Chenoa Baker, a curator based in West Roxbury, MA whose work is based in anti-colonial, equitable, and collectivist work; and Chad Bilyeu, a Black American writer, historian, and photographer based in Leiden, the Netherlands, whose practice involves the creation of what is known in the comic industry as “full scripts”–scripts meant to provide an artist with dialogue, scenario, and expositional instructions.
