Ruth Owens
Ruth Owens situates the Black subject at the intersection of two relationships. She explores the human-human relationship, focusing on the racially determined relationships between members of the African diaspora and those of northern European origin, as well as the human-environment relationship, particularly the devastating effects of climate change on people with limited resources.
Ruth Owens has exhibited work at Prospect.6 Triennial, New Orleans; Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans; Ackland Art Museum, North Carolina; and 21C Museum, Chicago, among others.

Artist
Markéta Adamcová
Markéta Adamcová views cities as symbolic spaces where personal and collective identities are continuously reshaped. Her work explores the intersection of personal narrative, poetic principles, and the spiritual dimensions of both natural and human systems. Rooted in painting, her artistic practice centers on the interplay between literature and visual language, using symbolic and abstract forms to convey personal stories. Through this approach, she invites viewers to navigate the space between the intimate and the universal.
Markéta Adamcová has exhibited work at Garage Gallery, Prague; INI Gallery, Prague; and Academy of Visual Arts – HKBU, Hong Kong, among others.

Maya Jeffereis
Maya Jeffereis is an artist and filmmaker working in video installation and experimental film to bring overlooked histories to light and speak to archival omissions through counter narratives, ancestral histories, and speculative fictions. Assembling hand-processed 16mm film, digital video, and archival interventions, her experimental films weave together ancestral traditions, intergenerational knowledge, and Asian diasporic histories to find moments of poetry and persistence amidst extractive labor practices, systemic oppression, and occupation of indigenous land. She unwaveringly supports Palestinian liberation.
Maya Jeffereis has exhibited work at Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York; Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Connecticut; and Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio, among others.
