Bahareh Khoshooee was born in 1991, Tehran, Iran. Through her practice, Khoshooee explores the concept of self and other, technology and its imperfection, diaspora and fragmentation. She uses her body as a tool and her performance as a process in creating visual imaginary liminal spaces and self-estranged characters. Using her body, Khoshooee invokes the viewer to exist in a conflicted state; at once immersed in her perspectives and at the same time aware of the farce; the experience of being the other and being the first person back and forth.

Lydia Okrent is committed to an investigation into the agency of the dancer. She writes, “Though my legibility as a dancer is activated by the choreographers I work with, I am the agent of my own form. When I am thinking about dance, performing a dance, rehearsing a dance, I am always making dance. My work is located inside the coordination of embodied ideas. There is something in what I do that isn’t found in training or a final product but, instead, in a quiet transference. I’ve started referring to it as embodied empathy power or, EEP- my EEP is activated by confronting someone else’s needs and vision, and then figuring out how to make it mine and make it move.”

Born in New Delhi, where she remained until moving to the United States at the age of eleven, Kaveri Raina’s work revolves around the often-conflicting aspects of hybrid identity. Raina examines the strangeness of the physical body displaced, hovering, uncomfortable, and anxiously awkward. She navigates binaries searching for in-betweenness, trying to both fulfill and disrupt expectations at once.

Anthea Behm is a visual artist who works across media, with a focus on analog and digital photography, video and performance. Her work traces and unravels the configurations of power that inhere within contemporary art and culture, even and especially when that power hides itself in abstract forms. Critically interrogating the legacies of modernism, her works explore the politics of abstraction and the ongoing predominance of patriarchal power. Through her aesthetic and performative interventions, Behm works to produce an alternate logic that presents the possibility of new meanings, new modes of resistance, and new aesthetic forms. As such, her practice purposefully resists a signature aesthetic style and category.
