Mehitza — Simo

Simo

Newsletter

Simone Klein, often known as Simo, was born in Providence, RI, and lives in Brooklyn, NY. Simo makes sculptures and performances, primarily as a poet. They are interested in mechanisms, improvisation, and bodywork -- often all merging in contexts of ritual and spiritual embodiment.

At Brown, Simo majored in Modern Culture & Media while exploring interests in economics, public health, and physics on the side.

The rest of this bio is coming soon.
