Jasmine Pisapia is a writer, researcher and curator who works both in Italy and New York.

She is interested in ethnographic mediation in its most varied forms: writing, sound, film and photography.

Bárbara Oettinger (Santiago, 1981) has a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at the University of Chile and a Master of Arts degree from the Catholic University of Chile. She has participated in various exhibitions and screenings in cultural centers, galleries and museums in Chile, Perú, Bolivia, Argentina,
Uruguay, Brazil, U.S., India, Indonesia, Ukraine, Slovenia, Spain, France, Portugal, Korea and Taiwan. Currently, she holds a Master of Fine Arts in Integrated Practices degree from Pratt Institute, New York, U.S, funded by the chilean government / CONICYT. "My work explores questions of displacement and uncertainty as it relates to and affects the knowing of identity. I am interested in how individuals understand themselves through their connection to their country of origin and current location, how they struggle (or search) to define language, history, traditions, their culture. Through the use of video, photography and installation, I reveal the role that power plays in peoples' precarious relationships with the nation-state. I seek to outline different levels of socialization through the intrapersonal, family and community. My current projects are encounters with dialogues, with a focus on testimonies that retain historical meaning, while telling of the psychological experience. Testimonies not only based on the supposed immediacy and accuracy of the historical source, but also on the subjective construction of different narratives." |

Eleni Kamma (Athens, 1973) is a visual artist and a PhD candidate at PhDArts, Leiden University, University of the Arts, The Hague. Her practice moves along a Moebius strip schema, that keeps circulating from her as individual artist (through drawings and objects), to dialectic collaborations (films, performative events, a journal) and back again.
Since 2009, Kamma has been based in both Maastricht and Brussels. She holds two nationalities, Greek and Cypriot. Due to her father’s refugee status in Greece and to the occupation of the northern part of Cyprus where her family originates, she constantly experiences the feeling of ‘not properly belonging’ from an early age. This has led her to consider herself as a pároikos — someone living close to others as a temporary dweller — leaving her with questions of how to raise one’s voice in relation to one’s identity in times of migration and mobility. Whom and how to address? |
Kamma’s practice is informed by the inherent gaps, blind spots and contradictions within existing cultural narratives and structures. These involve issues of memory, authenticity and identity, often in the context of an increasingly paradoxical Europe. Since 2015, she is investigating parrhesia, the ancient Greek notion of the obligation to speak for the common good, even at personal risk.
Kamma is part of the Brussels-based artist run organization Jubilee – Platform for artistic research and production. She is currently developing the script for Casting Call, a mid-length experimental artists’ film that playfully explores conditions for politics being possible in European public spaces today.

Nika Senica. The stories I covered in my work were mainly concerned with human trauma and minority issues, such as homelessness, mental health awareness and the importance of smaller organizations, such as the LGBTQI and feminist communities.
During my Bachelors in journalism, I learned first hand how impactful media outlets can be on both societal and cultural level. I acquired experiences in both mainstream and alternative media, which has given me a good understanding of the way the media industry works – how it ways profit or politics over the subject. Within my current studies of Visual Anthropology in Münster, I strive to combine the depths of the ethnographic methods with the journalistic insights I acquired throughout. I am aspiring to create with both the written word and the camera to continuously reflect my position in the world. |
Cameron G. Quevedo is a filmmaker and artist whose work explores themes of cultural decay, social erosion, humankind’s relationship to the land, and the individual’s search for meaning, relevance, and a sense of personal legacy. In 2016, Cameron began work on “The Border Suite,” a triptych of formally-driven films broadly structured around the theme of “Borders and Their Consequences.” For Cameron, the Suite has created a space to engage with borders at a time in which traditional notions of nationhood, place and migration have begun to crack, rip, and bleed. Cameron is currently in development on his first feature, a docu-fiction that explores myth, legend and superstition in rural Mexico. Cameron holds an MFA in Film Production from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as an MC in Indigenous Documentary Film and an MA in Ethnomusicology from the University of Washington in Seattle.
