Katherine Lanterna is a movement-based artist exploring the intersection of grace and rebellion. Existing between these realms, her practice merges grit with poise to investigate themes of self-contradiction, irony, and vulnerability. A graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, Katherine received the Orloff Family Trust Award and a Graduate Artist Residency at Lucy Guerin Inc, where she developed her first choreographic work, At the Hands of Men.

She has since performed for Melanie Lane and Joel Bray, and continues to collaborate across music, visual arts, film, and fashion.

Jasmin Seale is an artist working across video, print, and installation to explore the motivations and mechanisms behind acts of documentation. Her practice examines the individual as collector, the tension between purpose and obsession, and the DIY forms of archiving born from the urge to hold on to what might be lost.

She has completed a Master of Fine Art at RMIT University and holds a Bachelor of Design from Swinburne University of Technology.

Leon is an artist who works with sound and vision and installation. They are interested in the poetics and politics of infrastructure, cities, ecology and the time in which change happens. Leon lives and works on Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri country.

Artist Emma X Zhang creates immersive light installations and audiovisual performances that bridge the digital and physical. Transforming source materials from microscopy and landscape archives across varying resolutions, she builds experiential works through hyper-colour and compressed abstraction. Recent exhibitions include Sorse Gallery and Maroondah Federation Estate Gallery, with live audiovisual performances for Platform Presents and SIRC-UIT. She is currently developing a new body of work for an upcoming exhibition at Whitehorse Artspace.
