Sereena Khatib

Sereena is an artist studying visual arts at the University of Jordan. Her current line of artwork is digitally focused. She creates her digital artwork by combining collages and illustrations. As Sereena is still on the journey to finding her artistic style and voice, her work can be seen as abstract and symbolic at times. Other times it can be viewed as in-your-face literal, or even culturally and politically tied. One thing that is certain is that her art is about her roots, whether symbolic or literal; it is a timeline of her life and the events she’s lived through, which makes it all the more relatable.

Thalia Bernard

Thalia is a self-taught artist studying sociology at the University of Havana. Themes that have inspired her work include the fight against social stereotypes and taboos, self love, human sensitivity, gender equality and love for life. Painting, more so than drawing, has been for her not only a form of expression, but also the best way in which liberation is realized.

Phoebe Strobino

Phoebe is a recent graduate from the University of Massachusetts Amherst where she studied studio arts and art history. She works in many mediums, but lately has been working mostly in acrylics. Her work consists of a surrealist and abstract style, searching to capture a feeling in each piece rather than specific objects themselves. Phoebe believes art has a power to connect both maker and viewer under shared experiences and feelings, as well as to make explicit unique experiences that make us all individuals.

Jessica Quintana

Jessica is an architecture student in the Technical University of Havana; “Jose Antonio Echeverría” (Cujae). She is drawn to everything related to plastic arts, but primarily drawing with graphite. For her future projects she is interested in uniting her two major passions.

Genilson Guajajara

Genilson is an Indigenous photographer of the Guajajara people from the Indigenous land of Rio pindaré\Ma / Brazil. He studied cinema at VNA (“videos in the villages”), and through photography he records the ritualistic moments of his people, the Guajajara, and the fight for the protection of his territory, culture and teachings — which he says is essential in continuing the struggles of his Ancestors. The objective of his work is to show people the importance of preserving the environment for the future generation.
