The Artists are Present series explores the approach and initiatives of local talents seeking sustainable artistic development in their communities. Directly linked to the activities taking place in the PHI_portal, these artists advocate for greater involvement and innovation in their respective spheres.
Canadian saxophonist and performance artist Adam Kinner got in touch with a long-time friend living in Berlin, trumpet player Brad Henkel, during his visit to the PHI_portal in Montreal. Exchanging musical compositions in a unifying intimacy, the two artists realized how strong the emotional connection is when sharing a moment of pure truth.
