We are immensely pleased to bring you the fourth annual iteration of REDEFINE magazine and Holocene’s collaborative hi-jinx in Austin! Best friends and co-conspiring dreamers Gina Altamura (talent buyer at Holocene) and Vivian Hua (Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE) are throwing another free, all-ages, and unofficial DIY house party! We’re excited to be bringing on a new co-promoter this year – Portland’s own XRAY.FM, a new community radio station with very big ideas and a bevy of talented people on board to execute them.

This year our theme is PURE POTENTIALITY, and we’re showcasing our favorite artists from across the country (including some of our hometown loves) who are exploring emergent forms of pop music, psych, and soul/R&B. The emphasis is on futuristic sounds, mystical / metaphysical subject matter, and the very noble effort to actualize innovative, boundary-pushing approaches to pop. With the year 2014 still young, we’re looking ahead and feeling the extraordinary potential of our generation of music-makers. We want to celebrate this exciting age with all of YOU!

Join us as we dance into l’avenir!

Tune into http://xray.fm/listen every Sunday at 4pm PST for INTUITIVE NAVIGATION, as Gina and Vivian preview these exciting musical acts and stretch the theme of Pure Potentiality to the radio airwaves.

TRANSCENDING SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS ++ REVELING IN SHARED PARADIGMS

They are the Editor-in-Chief of REDEFINE, Interim Managing Editor of South Seattle Emerald, and Co-Chair of the Seattle Arts Commission. They also previously served as the Executive Director of the interdisciplinary community hub, Northwest Film Forum, where they played a key role in making the space more welcoming and accessible for diverse audiences.

Vee has two narrative short films. Searching Skies (2017) touches on Syrian refugee resettlement in the United States; with it, they helped co-organize The Seventh Art Stand, a national film and civil rights discussion series against Islamophobia. Reckless Spirits (2022) is a metaphysical, multi-lingual POC buddy comedy for a bleak new era, in anticipation of a feature-length project.

Vee is passionate about cultural space, the environment, and finding ways to covertly and overtly disrupt oppressive structures. They also regularly share observational human stories through their storytelling newsletter, RAMBLIN’ WITH VEE!, and are pursuing a Master’s in Tribal Resource and Environmental Stewardship under the Native American Studies Department at the University of Minnesota.
