Charlie Stein
Charlie Stein’s work explores dominant cultural aesthetics and challenges traditional modes of perception in our digitized, visually overstimulated world. Through extensive research, she translates her insights into drawings, installations, sculptures, and paintings that address social structures, digital media, and communication. Her paintings reflect on contemporary aesthetics, creating a visual language that deconstructs and recontextualizes digital imagery. With degrees in fine art, sociology, and literature, Stein studied under Christian Jankowski and Rainer Ganahl. She is currently a visiting professor at HfbK Hamburg.
Charlie Stein has exhibited work at Manifesta 11, Zürich; Songjiang Art Museum, Shanghai; and SİNOPALE 6, Turkey, among others.

Amy Bravo
Amy Bravo blends icons from Cuban religious culture with hyper-personal stories to create a queer afterlife universe in the rough shape of the island of Cuba. Her collaged canvases feature irregular forms where she combines graphite drawings with painterly techniques. These drawings evolve into paintings, embroidery, and assemblage sculptures. This unique mix of techniques helps recompose a family lineage disrupted by exile, engage with her ancestors, and outline a mythical world.
Amy Bravo has exhibited work at Semiose Gallery, Paris; Swivel Gallery, New York; and SESC Pompéia, São Paulo, among others.
