• Rio Ponce is an American artist. Her practice spans a range of media including video, performance, drawing, and painting.

• Shivanjani Lal is an emerging Pacific artist and curator. Born in Fiji, Shivanjani is culturally Indian. Her practice has always questioned the thematic examination of the body, gesture and ‘home’. She works with storytelling, photography and sculpture to create exhibitions, installations and video based artworks which generate an active and empathetic response from the audience towards the quiet and untold stories of the “other”. – https://vimeo.com/shivanjanilal
• Tal Fitzpatrick is an Israeli born, Melbourne based artist, craftivist, feminist, researcher and community development worker. Fascinated by the potential of craft to solicit the sharing of stories, Tal’s works explores art’s ability to drive social change by engaging people in complex conversations and creating temporary communities. Tal takes a socially-engaged approach to making her textile works which combines the techniques of appliqué quilting and embroidery with social media and participatory art making. Tal graduated from Griffith University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts with first class honours and is currently completing a practice-led PhD at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne.
