Mounira Al Solh (Beirut, 1978) is a visual artist who draws, embroiders, paints, creates installations, magazines, and puts on performances. In her oeuvre, the personal is closely interwoven with the political. Through encounters and conversations with others, Al Solh investigates themes such as migration, identity, language, and feminism.
Here is a link to an interview with the artist by Hendrik Folkerts in 2018 at the Art Institute Chicago.

Sharon Houkema (1975, NL) studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and the Rijksakademie Amsterdam. She creates installations, multimedia works, and texts relating to ecology. Alongside working in public spaces and publishing offline / online, her work has been exhibited in El Eco Museo Experimental Mexico City, ViaFarini in Milan, Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, Fact Liverpool, La Casa Endida in Madrid, DUCTAC in Dubai, CTM festival Berlin, and White Box New York. She was nominated for the Mamacash Art Award in 2003 and received the Volkskrant Audience Award in 2010.
