Hosted in the garage of the Mike Kelley Mobile Homestead and grounded in Detroit’s histories of cultural innovation and resistance, the program invites artists to use the Homestead as a site for experimentation, collaboration, and new forms of public engagement.Throughout each residency, artists are supported in developing and sharing new work through open rehearsals, performances, listening sessions, and workshops. Each cycle culminates in a free public performance. In partnership with Third Man Records, each live performance will contribute to a limited-edition vinyl compilation documenting the project over time.RESIDENTSJuly - Shigeto August - Zekkereya El-magharbelSeptember - Battle ElfOctober - Na BonsaiNovember - Dave HurleyOpen rehearsals are tentatively scheduled for selected Thursdays and Saturdays throughout each residency cycle.

He is a member of the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, an Afro-futurist legacy ensemble that has been active for over 50 years. He earned his MFA in 2D Design from Cranbrook Academy of Art (2024) and his MMusic in Jazz and Contemporary Music from the University of Michigan (2021). He is a passionate educator and loves to make work that shows how, even though the world is so big, music and art can show us a common ground. His research is focused on melodic systems in regions of strong Islamic influence, studying traditional melodies to see how they work, then reconfiguring them to reflect the turbulence of finding beauty in the West.Photo by Jon Finalyson.
