UGLY with the Dufala Brothers

Moving freely between disciplines, brothers Steven and Billy Dufala have created drawings, prints, sculpture, performance, music and design, and their primary concern is the collaborative creation of new work in a variety of media. Their site-specific and installation work engages directly with their community of artists and makers in Philadelphia, but also the city more broadly. The brothers co-teach at PAFA and have been members of the band Man Man, of which Steven is a founding member.
