Marissa’s Bio: Marissa Dembkoski is an artist, art museum administrator, and (recently) quarantine fundraising DJ. She earned her BFA from Lesley University in Photography and Art History in 2017 and completed a collaborative thesis with partner Paal Williams. Their artist collaborative pwmd creates work that intertwines artistic tensions from the history of photography and contemporary modes of photographic production to question the constructs of visual culture. They have exhibited four solo exhibitions, participated in the first triennial exhibition in St. Louis, Counterpublic 2019, and curated exhibition Pixel at the Granite City Art and Design District. Marissa has worked in communications and development roles at non-profits for the past six years, including Harvard Art Museums and the Saint Louis Art Museum. During quarantine, she pursued her random desire to learn the basics of DJing, which has resulted in creating a recurring virtual dance party fundraiser series called Boogie Knights of Quarantine with collaborator Ally Campbell. Known professionally as DJ MixRiss, she is notoriously known for exclusively using SoundCloud remixes and nostalgic early 00's suburban electronic hits. Boogie Knights are held monthly to fundraise money for important causes, past donations have gone to the Okra Project and the ACLU.
