Maguette Dieng is a DJ, producer, and music programmer dedicated to musical dissemination and sound research. The driving force behind her work is reflecting on sound representation and justice, and on how we can create community and possibility through sound. As a musical and sound creator, she has composed for stage projects and sound installations. She is interested in the different ways in which the acoustic shapes the cultural identity of society, and how we can learn from it and transform it through listening and its activation.

Raoni/Muzho Saleh is a Hazara Afghan artist using performance, installation and the sound of mourning moaning to twist and reshape narratives of (cultural) becoming. His work’s focus is to play with fugitivity, by not stiffening into a graspable form. Engaging the entanglement of body, spirit, politics and love within art through the use of materials such as movement, voice, text and textile, his works are temporary immersions – for both performers and the public- into otherworldly thinking, feeling and relating.

Artist and researcher. Non-binary lesbian. Their practice spaces combine writing and performance, whether in creation, teaching, research, or the organization of public programs. They hold a PhD in Artistic Studies and Anthropology, with research on the relationship between language and geology, and the performative effects of the debate on the Anthropocene in humanity–nature perceptions. From this research emerged a series of lecture-performances presented internationally in artistic venues and academic contexts: “Antropocenas” (2017) with João dos Santos Martins, “Geofagia” (2018), “Fóssil” (2020) and “Spillovers” (2023), a fabulated translation around “Lesbian Peoples: Material for a Dictionary” (1976), an iconic reference of lesbian feminism by Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig. Holding a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (PUC-São Paulo) and a BA in Choreographic Arts (University of Paris VIII), they have published academic articles, artists’ texts, and edited independent publications related to their research. Since 2020, Ritó has coordinated Terra Batida, a network of people, practices, and knowledge in contestation with forms of ecological violence and politics of abandonment. They are an associate artist of Associação Parasita, a structure funded by the Portuguese Republic – Ministry of Culture/Directorate-General for the Arts between 2023 and 2026.

My name is Sara and I work in the fields of performing arts and mediation. I research transformism and its performance from a choreographic, experimental, and critical perspective. My works take on different formats, such as performances, laboratories, site-specifics, or texts. I work through humor, the plasticity of the body and the voice, emotional states, and the friction between major arts and minor arts.

Veza Fernández is a dance, voice, and performance artist based in Vienna. Her work addresses the poetics and politics of vocal expression as a site of relation, imagination, and transformation. She intertwines practices of singing, writing, dance, and oral expression as embodied forms of study, experimentation, and performance. Her pieces overflow with sensitivity and intensity, polyphonically summoning a constellation of voices and presences that long to move, to move others, and to be moved. Her training spans philology, pedagogy, theater, music, and contemporary dance—fields that, in one way or another, influence her artistic research and her approaches to artistic creation and presentation. Her work is deeply rooted in the local scene, infiltrating from the underground into major dance and theater institutions. She holds a Master’s in Choreography from the DAS Graduate School (Academy of Theatre and Dance, Amsterdam). Her work has been presented, among other places, at brut Wien, Tanzquartier Vienna, Sophiensaele Berlin, Gesnerallee Zürich, de Singel Antwerp, and La Casa Encendida Madrid.
