Eshwari Ramsali (they/she) is an Amsterdam-based speculative artist, researcher, bartender, web-tender and pot-stirrer. As a first-generation migrant, they are interested in mapping the cosmology of the Other(s) and the ways in which hospitality, generosity, reciprocity and vulnerability are negotiated in the margins. They combine their developing practice of installation, place-making, storytelling, performance, mixology and herbalism to bring together notions of healing justice, land stewardship, mutual aid, grief tending, more-than-human kinship and queer & trans rituals of care. They recently graduated from the Masters program Planetary Poetics at Sandberg Institute.

Yi Zhang (she/they) is an interdisciplinary artist-researcher based in Eindhoven, working across video, installation, drawing, cooking, fermentation and performance. Their research explores the entangled influences of human trade on urban ecosystems, the migration experiences of human and non-human beings, and their displacement under capitalist systems. Through speculative fabulation, Zhang reimagines ecological relationships and material afterlives, questioning structures of separation and extraction in modernity. They engage with low-cost, low-tech, and self-organized methods to sustain alternative economies and experiment with community-based, distributed knowledge.
