KIRA HANGER is an artist and poet based in Bloomington. Her work moves between sacred and profane, mystical and real. She channels viscerality, chaos, and intimacy. She presents her writing in occasional exhibitions, inviting readers to move through poetry in visual space. Her practice also includes design work for local businesses and psychic mediumship within the community. She is grateful to share some of her favorite recent work.
Through songs of foolish longing and scores to symbolic floods, JACK CARL has managed to turn impassioned composition into a full-blown pastime. He will sing and play guitar. https://jackcarl.bandc
