Institution/Business Type: Artist / Creative (Individual)

Ryan Edwards is a Boston-based sound and installation artist, a founder and principal at MASARY Studios. His work is focused at the intersection of interactivity, sound and light. His work is often haptic, creating community, agency and participation through technology and new-media. Ryan’s work is influenced by the West African djembe repertoire in which he was immersed through his 20’s, and is balanced by an interest in electronic and urban dance music. Ryan is most proud to be a father of two beautiful children, Jafiah and Maya.
