A Roving Presence... is an ever-evolving residency project organized by MICA’s MFA in Curatorial Practice Class of 2021, featuring Baltimore-based artists Lynn Hunter, Amy Reid, and Yoshi Nakamura. Since its inception in the Fall of 2019, A Roving Presence...investigated the pathways surrounding migration and mourning, spiritual transmission, and nomadic existence in relation to the social and economic changes that Baltimore persistently endures. Encouraged to create new works involving site-specific exploration, installation-driven creation, and ephemera activation, the residency artists call attention to the tensions that arise between community and politics as well as, displacement and sustainability. In the wake of coronavirus, these concerns take on new and potent contexts and implications.
