Meghan Moe Beitiks (she/they) is an artist and designer working with associations and disassociations of culture/nature/structure.  They analyze perceptions of ecology though the lenses of site, history, emotions, and her own body in order to produce work that analyzes relationships with the non-human.  They were a Fulbright Student Fellow, a recipient of the Claire Rosen and Samuel Edes Foundation Prize for Emerging Artists, a MacDowell Colony fellow, and an Artist-in-Residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. Their work has been funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Council of Canada, among other resources. In addition to their interdisciplinary and material performance practice, they have designed lights for the California Academy of Sciences, the Asian Art Museum, SF Sketchfest, Atom-r Performance, and David Herrera Performance Company, as well as media and sets for Concerts Under the Stars at the Chaffee Planetarium at the Grand Rapids Public Museum. They received their BA in Theater Arts from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and their MFA in Performance Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
