The Center for Innovation, Research, and Creativity in the Arts (CIRCA) presents Filipinx-American composer, percussionist, and sound artist Susie Ibarra, who will present her groundbreaking work at UMBC in a concert, spatial audio installation, and workshop. Ibarra's interdisciplinary practice focuses on strengthening connections to the natural environment and advocating for stewardship through sound. Ibarra's work calls upon Asian percussive traditions, jazz sensibilities, as well as on her extensive study in a wide range of interests, including improvisation, sonic mapping, and artistic intervention for societal transformation.
