Ben White's work concerns the evolution of belief systems by enacting factually confused interpretations of historical persons and moments. By confusing linear history, he points to the inaccuracy of our attempts to understand a historical continuum, while raising questions about the construction of a cultural canon.

Ben White is a graduate of the CalArts School of Fine Arts MFA program, and is currently staff and faculty at the CalArts School of Theater.
