Nina Cochran

Communications

I’m here to tell you about the visual artist Niina Cochran.  I’m a piece of Niina’s artwork, so I will admit that I’m biased.  Niina started exhibiting her artwork, internationally, in 2005.  She is originally from New Jersey, but no she doesn’t have a Joisey accent.  She received her BFA in Illustration from Parsons the New School for Design in NYC and her MA in Visual Culture from Aalto University- School of Art, Design and Architecture in Finland.  She continues to live in a chosen state of limbo…for now.

Nicole Du Bois is currently a communications intern at Elsewhere.  After receiving her BFA degree in photography from UNCG this May, Nicole will be re-launched into the "real world" and is looking forward to creating works of art with a focus in collaboration, conceptual and alternative process photography, and she can't wait!

Nandita Batheja

Production

Nandita’s origins are contested. Some say she made herself up. Others postulate that she crawled out of a book that lay forgotten on her parents’ shelves. Still others believe she emerged from a food baby her father nursed after too much big-apple pizza. Regardless, she was born. She grew up a little then went off to study English Literature at Williams College. When she wasn’t lost in literary space, she was stomping and clapping on her college step team, writing, or wondering. She spent her summers and post-grad years working with arts organizations and teaching in urban America and rural India.

Yahya Alazrak (Productions Assistant) is committed to living life more authentically (being true to himself) and anecdotally (getting good stories out of it). He studied Film, Religious Studies and Community and Justice Studies at Guilford College in Greensboro - a result of and resulting in a calling to the places where people make connections, and spaces where people create experiences larger than the sums of their collective parts.
