Coleman is a British multi-disciplinary artist residing in Denver, Colorado. His practice encompasses performance, sonic art, music and mixed-media installation projects. Ben will be collaborating with ArtLab youth to create a project centering on youth voice.

In collaboration with PlatteForum’s ArtLab Interns, Ben Coleman will use a variety of techniques to investigate the implied and explicit messages present in the past decade’s spate of movies, comic books and mixed media. Including writing, audio description, sound design, live adaptation and video editing, super will feature the youth’s perspective on these beliefs and values.
