Emily Birdie Busch
is a working sonic and visual artist that strives to reveal things in a way that doesn’t seem like a dissertation but rather a keyhole and places a lot of intention on distilling the complexities of our stories down to core truths via the paths of art and song. She records and performs original music in tandem with making multimedia art, with a particular fondness for everyday Philadelphians and the neighborhoods they call home. Sometimes the two are intertwined or one influences the other. She come from a lineage of Polish immigrants that settled in Camden, NJ in the latter 19th century, and a lot of her work is informed by her love of the folk art of her own ancestry, as well as collage and pattern work.
