Frewuhn is a multidisciplinary performing artist. Her work follows a trajectory of theory to practice. Her background in theology, history and anthropology inform her work and approach. Frewuhn probes at the methodology of performance, the methods of our madness, art as process making and tool shaping.
- For Frewuhn, the liminal space is the realm of possibility.
Frewuhn is a multidisciplinary artist and founder of Frewuhn Arts Collective LLC. She addresses her work from an empathetic and contextual space, relying on her background in history and cultural anthropology. Frewuhn made her musical debut with Alternative Rock soul band Neon Collars in 2009, and has toured internationally with artists including CeCe Winans and Solange. In 2018, she released her first solo album, Stupid Carnival, as well as a book of poetry, The Color of Frequency, with accompanying curriculum and performance.
Her most recent work includes a residency at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, where she used her latest work Freedom Summer Mixtape as a sound and cultural lab. Frewuhn reimagined the museum to record a series of installations spanning themes of freedom, ecology, decay, and repair. Her focus is on the formation one must embody to pass through protests many phases.
