Torkwase Dyson describes herself as a painter
working across multiple mediums to explore the continuity between
ecology, infrastructure, and architecture. She works in painting,
drawing, and sculpture, and her abstract works examine human
geography and the history of Black spatial liberation strategies,
often grappling with the ways in which space is perceived,
imagined and negotiated particularly by black and brown bodies.
Linda Sormin is a visual artist who creates sculptures and
site-responsive installations using raw clay, fired ceramics,
found objects and interactive methods. Her work explores themes
of fragility, upheaval, and transformation that reflect her
diasporic experiences.

Marie Lorenz is a New York-based
printmaker, sculptor, and filmmaker. Her work is rooted in
the exploration and narrative of New York City’s waterfronts.
Combining psycho-geographic exploration with highly crafted,
material forms, Lorenz uses boats to create an uncertain space
and bring about a heightened awareness of place.

portraits and landscape paintings, utilizing the languages of
