AMBER LEE [VIRGINIA]
I'm an artist, writer, and filmmaker based in the U.S. I've dedicated my life and time to creating, having amazing experiences, and helping other people to do the same. My work has been shown all over the U.S. and abroad, in places like New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Berlin, and Korea. In my artwork, I mix passion with imagination to create new worlds. These new worlds inspire people to seek better things in our real one. My goal is innovation in every aspect of art and life. In real words, I like to make weird shit that inspires people to do awesome shit.
Also, I like whiskey shots, plane rides, long showers, and Joss Whedon marathons.
I feel closer to you now.

THE MYOHO SISTERS
JODIE LYN-KEE-CHOW and MARIA FERNANADA HUBEAUT
The Myoho Sisters is a collaborative duo by artists, Maria Fernanada Hubeaut and Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow.
Due to their combined interests these two artists joined forces to combat injustice and oppression that exists in our contemporary society.
Both immigrants, their individual experiences have had some parallels that they found worth exploring.
The issues addressed in their combined performance art works are not just local but universal.
As Nichiren Buddhists it's their mission to transform society into a peaceful one while telling the truth.
The Myoho Sisters performed their debut performance piece "TRANSFERnation" at Villa Valencia Center for the Arts in Boston during TODO BAJO CONTROL, curated by Ian DeLeon and Anabel Vazquez in November 2013.
They live and work in New York City.

OUI-JA
Ouija is an impure thought, a curiosity, and an exploration through the primal darkness of the recessed mind that makes the skin itch and the brain tingle. Through performative actions, installation and illustration, Ouija meanders within the delicacy of virginity and the thrill of sin using the human emotion as a tool to open up new understandings to questions we never wanted to ask.
Ouija roots herself in Brooklyn, New York and has been exhibited in galleries and venues across the globe and included in various renowned international publications. She is also a member of the internationally acclaimed collective 'Non Grata'

NON GRATA
Around the name NON GRATA there have been different hushes and shushes for a long time. Already from the point of view of death of conventionalization of art it has embodied the horrible and unwanted disembodiment of human person, from which the meaninglessness of nowadays art, is pouring out. For those, whose world of arts starts from the point, where the art world ends, NON GRATA has been a liberator, the orphic gap in the seemingly unalterable course, which however betrays us, it is a cure from incest. The main point of the group is ethical - it is the image of primitivism, impersonality and experimental creativity. The performances of the group take place according to the logic of avoiding codes. The presentations are physical texts, whose ways of orthography and reading are kept within limits of real actions by the groupmembers. Aesthetical and provocative challenges are represented in places, where the Art World doesn't work.
