Nicole Balsirow

Nicole Balsirow (CC ’24, Computer Science & Music) is interested in finding her place in the artistic world. Straddling the borders between different cultures and their narratives, she wonders where Kalmyk people fit into this. For her residency at the Movement Lab, she wants to find her place as a Kalmyk composer. By looking at historical archives, field recordings, and anything her mother can tell her about her family’s history, she wants to explore new ways to express her artistic identity.
