Bbeyond in conjuction with Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival present TRANSACTIONS: Boston artists exchange

TRANSACTIONS is an exchange between two prominent experimental artists’ groups, Mobius Artists Group in Boston and Bbeyond in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

This exchange, which emphasizes Boston and Belfast’s relationship as sister cities, provides opportunities for artists working at the helm of experimental practice in live performance to learn from each other, share audiences, work across national and cultural contexts while building connections through the creation of new works.

This May, seven Mobius artists: Marilyn Arsem, Jimena Bermejo, Daniel DeLuca, Milan Kohout, Mari Novotny-Jones, Sandrine Schaefer and Anna Wexler, will perform new works in Belfast specifically created for presentation in outdoor public space, as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.

In September, five artists from Belfast, Northern Ireland’s Bbeyond will be travelling to Boston in order to complete the exchange.  Transaction II will take place in downtown Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway on September 22 & 23, featuring performances by the artists from Bbeyond and by Mobius artists.

Bbeyond is supported by The National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland.  In Boston this project is made possible by a Live Arts Boston grant from the Boston Foundation, and by a grant from Culture Ireland.  Mobius is also funded by The Oedipus Foundation, the Tanne Foundation, and generous private support.
