Bennett Charles Kuhn (b. 1988, NYC) is a radical social worker, philosopher, beatmaker, composer, organizer, DJ, multi-instrumentalist, pedagogue, filmmaker, essayist, and mask maker. He has mentored generations of young artists and activists in New York and Philly as a co-initiator of health justice collective Creative Resilient Youth and the record label Astro Nautico.
On themes of grief and madness, Kuhn creates essay films (‘house tour’), experimental non-fiction, and music. He co-organized the mental health justice collaborative Creative Resilience Collective and has lived and worked on as a public health and human rights communicator for La Isla Network in Nicaragua.
Kuhn’s live shows and offerings combine traditional art mediums with facilitation styles learned as a community organizer in Philadelphia, Nicaragua, and New York City since 2010. The resulting interactive rituals are as reverent as they are disruptive.
