Network — Streetlight

We are a network of artists, architects, scientists, and researchers that work together to build visionary projects towards a just and sustainable future.

**Supermrin**
Supermrin is an Indian artist working at the intersections of architecture, art, and design. Through a research-led, speculative, and site-specific practice, she creates installations and environments that seek to reconsider the values that spaces offer, and the ways through which they mediate human relationships. She is interested in conceptions of reality, pleasure, and nature within eastern practices. Her current body of works, *Untitled, Amazon Grocery Bags, 2020* have been a response to the pandemic and a way to re-discover “sites” within the confines of her studio apartment in Brooklyn.
Supermrin is the founder of Streetlight, a Visiting Artist at the Graduate Architecture and Urban Design (GAUD) Program at Pratt Institute, and an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at the School of Art, University of Cincinnati.

**Jessica Fertonani Cooke**
Jessica Fertonani Cooke is a Brazilian socio-ploitical researcher, activist and multidisciplinary artist. Her work utilizes performance, video and installation to expose the body as a hybrid-type living in the complexity of its territory; that being a psychic-spiritual space, geo-political land or intra-social landscapes. Jessica’s concern lies on comprehending the borderlines between these places. As an individual that carries a mestizo body from two immigrant based countries: Brazil and USA (Hawaii) her research naturally stems from the 3rd place of mix-bloodedness. Jessica studies the ‘mixing’ or ‘cross-overs’ within the bodies of objects, landscape, sounds, mythologies, animals, social structures, state-politics.

**Jil Berenblum**
Jil Berenblum is a material researcher and industrial designer who is working towards building sustainable materials, methodologies, and fabrication methods. She is currently an industrial designer at the Cartier Retail Innovation Lab building tangible interactive experiences, and troublemaking with Streetlight to develop bio-sculptures at Governors Island.

**Xenia Adjoubei**
Xenia Adjoubei is Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Inclusive Ecologies Incubator, Pratt and head of ASWStudio, an architecture practice which specializes in culture and education.
