Si Jie Loo will be collaborating with Grupo Maferefun as part of her art residency with the MBS Foundation SB.

About the collaboration:
Come listen to the spiritual sounds of Rumba performed by Grupo Maferefun and watch how Si Jie interpret their sounds into beautiful sketches and artwork!

About the residency:
My work is driven by movements. As an artist in the diaspora, I am constantly on the move between places, cultures, music genres and languages. As such, I have accumulate many pocket-size work done when I am “moving”. The small scale projects that I want to bring in ranges from written essays, photographs of my travels, paintings, on-th-spot sketches of people and places that are often tucked away when we go on with our lives.

I want to grow as an artist by incorporating a wider range of expression into my art making process. I want share how my practice evolves as I settle into the Santa Barbara community after returning from my art fellowship in China and Malaysia.

Parking: Please park at the cul-de-sac or along Via Maria and walk into the foundation.
