Her mother\, director of the Bauhaus library in Dessau\, and her grandparents\, prolific children’s book illustrators\, shaped her creative path. Stephanie studied textile design and art history in Germany and Italy\, and built a career that includes award-winning work in silk weaving\, real estate redevelopment\, and children’s literature. She has published three illustrated books and is currently on tour with Holocaust survivor Eva Szepesi\, whose story she adapted for young readers. \nIn 2025\, a firestorm in Pacific Palisades destroyed her family home\, studio\, and much of her art archive\, but key works were saved and will be exhibited. A member of SCBWI and board director at the German Academy for Children’s Literature\, she divides her time between Frankfurt and Los Angeles\, where she runs a real estate company\, supports arts institutions like the Wende Museum\, and continues to explore her family’s history\, including her grandfather’s role in the 1953 uprising on Stalin Allee. \nADA access to the Glorya Kaufman Community Center is available through the garden gate from the parking lot; this gate will be opened approximately 30 minutes before the program. \nSupplies provided courtesy of Blick Art Materials.

SUMMARY:FRAMEWORKS | Ashla Chavez-Razzano: HAVANA DIALECTIC
DESCRIPTION:HAVANA DIALECTIC is an ambient musical performance by artist Ashla Chavez-Razzano\, inspired by the urban soundscapes of Los Angeles\, California\, and Havana\, Cuba. The performance abstracts urban and natural environments local to the two cities as a way of reconciling places of exile and expansion. Three musicians—upright bassist Tate Chavez\, percussionist Zach Gotler\, and wind player Collin McCrary—will perform alongside ambient sound composition and experimental cinema vérité by Chavez-Razzano. Their organic\, meditative swelling of improvisation will complement the ever-changing visual collages of urban life in Los Angeles and Havana. Through found sound\, video\, poetry\, and live musical improvisation\, the piece explores new forms of the philosophical “dialectic”: between musician and field recordings; between contrasting urban landscapes; between ideals of advancement and realities of decline. \nThis performance inaugurates the 2026 season of the Wende Museum’s experimental music series FRAMEWORKS. This season\, each featured artist will develop an interdisciplinary performance considering both domestic and public spaces as they relate to the artist’s singular perspective. Each artist will reflect on the subtle implications of space\, as functional and measurable records of cities or cultures; versus place\, the conceptual and felt imaginings of the familiar or alien. Embodying the Wende’s ethos of promoting research into dynamic global networks and processes of transformation through an experimental lens\, the series’ bimonthly\, site-specific performances examine the “frameworks” through which we narrate the past and imagine the future; they complement the Museum’s exhibitions and programs while simultaneously acting as channels to contemporary scenes alive in Los Angeles. \nThere will be a complimentary reception prior to the program\, starting at 1 p.m. The performance will begin at 2 p.m. \nAshla Chavez-Razzano is a Los Angeles–based writer\, musician\, and curatorial consultant whose work traces the emotional and social possibilities of sound. Moving between writing\, music\, radio\, and performance\, her practice is rooted in storytelling through experimentation and active listening. In 2024\, Ashla debuted her sound-art at STADTWERKSTATT in Berlin. Since 2023\, she has been the artistic director of art-folk band Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit. As resident DJ of radio stations DUBLAB and KTPC 99.1 FM in Venice\, Ashla has utilized the medium of sound as a method of connection\, whether in person or on the air. Her writing has been recognized in Poets & Writers Magazine\, SPIN Magazine\, and Dream Boy Book Club.
