Tali Keren

Tali Keren is a multidisciplinary artist and educator born in Jerusalem and based in Brooklyn. Her performances, videos, and installations center on the formation of political ideology, historical mythologies, and the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism. Through poetic interventions into archival sources, legislative documents, and the creation of immersive documentary installations, Keren seeks to unsettle foundational national myths. Her practice is grounded in collaboration, cross-disciplinary dialogue, and experimental pedagogy as a way to forge new forms of collectivity and political imaginaries.

Tali Keren has exhibited at Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Detroit; Queens Museum and Eyebeam, both New York City, among others.

Kalisolaite ‘Uhila

Kalisolaite ‘Uhile, originally from Tonga, creates unique visual art that conveys ideas metaphorically, sparking reflection in viewers. His performances involve immersive experiences, such as living on the streets in Auckland, inhabiting a pig crate, and conducting the waves of the Pacific Ocean from its shore. Uhila’s work delves into cultural, social, and political themes, examining the intersection of traditional Tongan notions about the relationship between people and sacred animals with Western concepts.

Kalisolaite ‘Uhila has exhibited work at Māngere Arts Centre; Aotea Square; and USP Cook Islands, all in New Zealand.
