Faisal Karadsheh is a Jordanian-born multidisciplinary artist. His oeuvre continually moves towards in-between spaces: a middle ground between abstraction and representation, where interior and exterior modalities can exist as one. As a result, his practice attempts to unravel the tensions, or harmonies, that arise between the self and the other. In his work, the presence, or absence, of spatial realities is contingent on a sensing somatic subject; a (re)producer or constructor.

Prachi Khandekar is a curator, designer, and writer. She conceives and creates exhibitions and multimedia projects. She examines our tech- and brand-driven culture, with a particularly interest in exploring the polarities of comfort and pain embedded in our digital interactions: laughter, isolation, nostalgia, anxiety, and everything in between.

He continues to explore new ways of expression with the emergence of new media tools and techniques. Some of his work is available at his website.

Michelle Wilson is an artist and mother currently residing as an uninvited guest on Treaty Six territory in London, Ontario. In her current work, she makes palpable the presence and absence of bison and their inseparability from the land and its people. In the Euro-American archive, bison bodies have been used to convey colonial knowledge systems, and their story of survival has been used to perpetuate myths of “settler saviours." As a feminist of settler descent studying in colonial institutions, this is the legacy that Wilson has inherited and is confronting.
