Fatima: 
Works across drawing, sculpture, video and installation to explore the lasting influence of modernism in Latin American architecture, art and popular culture.She focus on gender identity that enables forms of violence against women and non-binary people. 

Lawrence: 

Interest with sound and its intersection with politics originate from his background as a touring musician and facilitator of DIY music. (He is obviously an artist that focuses on music)

 
Bronwyn: 
In her installations and sculptures, she tries to put together a collective history and memory linked to the spaces and objects around them. she creates what Nicoletta Michaletos (Artthrob) has described as being “ghost forms”. Depicting emptiness is a way for her to bring out the stillliving presence coming from the memory of our ancestors. The worn mattress, as a central figure of her work, also alludes to forced movements and the current economic difficulties of a large part of the Black population of South Africa. 
connects the past with the present thanks to this object, while delivering a message which is quite abstract, based on a construction/deconstruction dialectic.
