Josué Mejía
Josué Mejía’s work starts from historical revisions in order to acknowledge the processes that shaped the past; he traces different story lines that allow him to employ historical “inaccuracies” in order to produce alternative narratives that function as counter-histories to the official version. He is currently interviewing objects that were embedded in the narratives of twentieth-century exhibitions between Mexico and the United States in order to evidence their participation in complex diplomatic agreements.
Josué Mejía has exhibited work at Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City, SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah; and Embajada Gallery, San Juan, among others.

Alona Rodeh
Alona Rodeh’s cross-disciplinary practice includes creating immersive environments that combine movement through light and sound, public art projects, sculpture, video works, publishing, and more. Fueled by an interest in the material cultures that shape the built environment, her work focuses on the omnipresence of artificial illumination in the public sphere and its influence on humans and non-humans alike.

Julie Stavad
Julie Stavad’s sculptures and installations engage the body while creating an associated interaction with the object through dramatic shifts in scale and material contrasts. By combining various sensory modalities, the artist attempts to create an interaction in which the quiet material speaks and verbal utterances take on tangible shape.
Julie Stavad has exhibited work at Kunsthalle Seinäjoki, Finland; O-Overgaden, Denmark; Holstebro Kunstmuseum, Denmark; and Kunsthal Aarhus, Denmark, among others.
