OPEN FEED x Infrasonic Series presents Kelly Armor & Allen Brown with Mooneyes

Kelly Armor is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, storyteller, teaching artist, and folklorist. She has works intensively with Erie’s New American community, helping them preserve their culture and traditions in their new home, while also creating systems for the greater community to honor, celebrate and benefit from New American’s indigenous knowledge. Kelly performed a set of flute music alongside Allen Brown, an Erie-based Native American flautist. Allen is a Seminole artist, and plays an instrument he made himself, decorated with a turtle representing his mother’s Turtle Clan, and an arrowhead facing down, representing peace and a round motif representing the circle of life. They will be accompanied by visualist Mooneyes (Aaron Homerski). Mooneyes works in a variety of media, from digital imagery to handmade crochet objects. Mooneyes was artist-in-residence at FEED in Spring 2024.
