Courtney Kinnare
Courtney Kinnare is an artist and designer based in Brooklyn known for her vibrant mirrored works and functional artistic objects. Without feeling constricted to one medium or art form, she works intuitively to create abstract works of hyper-color palettes observed in the natural world, subconsciously documented throughout her life experiences. Each work is a unique experiment that studies the interaction of color, texture, and light, unveiling itself as it develops.

Facture
Facture is a contemporary design studio located in Brooklyn, NY. Founded by designer Quincy Ellis, the studio creates dynamic pieces from molded resin by manipulating the elements of light, color and transparency. This exploration is central to all of Facture's work, with each design featuring unique colors, shades and opacities. The final product is a body of work that achieves new dimensions in the medium of resin, consisting of objects whose compositions and meaning change in response to the environments in which they are placed.

Her music career led her back to New York, where she worked as an independent artist and ultimately founded Atta Studio.

Sol Bailey Barker
Sol Bailey-Barker is a British multi-disciplinary artist working primarily with sculpture, sound and performance. Informed by the development of technologies that were for millennia seen as shamanic for their transformative power upon the landscape and their influence over life and death, Bailey-Barker's practice follows this journey of body-hacking and augmentation from the ancient sacred axe to contemporary prosthetics and machinery. Working with found objects, building immersive environments which combine the constructed with the found, he explores the uncertainty of history, revisiting narratives from a parallel non-colonial perspective.
