Rushdi Anwar is a Kurdish–Australian artist born in Halabja, Kurdistan–Iraq. His multidisciplinary practice spans installation, sculpture, painting, photography, video, and archival materials, exploring memory, displacement, and the enduring legacies of colonialism. His work has been exhibited internationally at Sharjah Biennial 15, Sainsbury Centre-UK, Bangkok Art Biennale, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Artes Mundi 10 (National Museum Cardiff), and The National 2019 (Art Gallery of New South Wales). He holds a PhD from RMIT University and is a Senior Lecturer at Chiang Mai University in Thailand.
Wantanee Siripattananuntakul is a Bangkok-based artist working across video, installation, sound, sculpture, and text. Her practice explores interspecies perception and the forces that shape life across human and more-than-human worlds. Drawing on field research and site-based observation, her work considers gravity, environmental conditions, and forms of awareness beyond human perception.
