Amin Alsaden is a curator, scholar, and educator whose work focuses on transnational solidarities and exchanges across cultural boundaries. His curatorial practice is committed to advancing social justice through the arts, and to disseminating more inclusive narratives that decenter existing canons and challenge hegemonic epistemological and power structures. His exhibitions invariably raise questions concerning the interrelated domains of geography, colonialism, extraction, organized violence, and displacement.

Kay Rangel works with archives, navigating erased history to bring visibility to contemporary artistic practices – particularly those rooted in her homeland, Mexico. She’s also focused on working with theories of place, queerness, and feminism. Her practice, as an artist, relies heavily on words too, pushing the viewer to explore the written language within the visual realm.
