Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration. Within this space, Davis uncovers creative, even fantastical strategies for shifting human and more-than-human relationships towards a more ecologically just world.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVillamil \u0026amp; Villamil \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003Eis a Colombian artist duo founded by brothers Sebasti\u00e1n and Felipe Villamil. Working across sculpture, animation, moving image, sound and immersive installation, their practice appropriates elements of contemporary visual culture and intervenes through strategies of spectacle, including amplification, staging, repetition and hypervisibility. Through these interventions, they seek to disturb the \u201cconsensus of reality\u201d and draw attention to the invisible infrastructures that shape it.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EGrace Piontek (they\/them)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is a visual artist exploring the ecology of queer animacy, intimacy and its expression. As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art. With a previous background in ecology and biology, their work arises out of the mythologies and hypotheses of the scientific world, exploring sites of tension or incoherence.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELily Regalia (she\/her)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is a painter born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and based in Phoenix, Arizona. She explores how domestic spaces are structured to mirror the psyche. Working across painting and drawing intertwined with direct observation and self-portraiture, her practice investigates themes of identity, intimacy and absence. Having grown up in a family that renovates houses, there is a continued fascination with observing their interiors and how people within inhabit the in-between.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art. With a previous background in ecology and biology, their work arises out of the mythologies and hypotheses of the scientific world, exploring sites of tension or incoherence.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ELily Regalia (she\/her)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E is a painter born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Having grown up in a family that renovates houses, there is a continued fascination with observing their interiors and how people within inhabit the in-between.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Her practice is a space where dirt, bones and jars of microscopic algal communities meet costumes, wigs and jars of glass glitter; where queerness and an unruly curiosity for the natural world guide research and artistic exploration.

As a photographer, they primarily work with film. Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.

Using analog practices offers a tactile and embodied approach to image making, one that mirrors the human experience of physicality and possibility to err. As a photographer with a visual impairment, the language afforded through these discoveries is a vital part of their practice. Grace is exploring other media as well, including textiles, ceramics, and video art.
