Thesea Rigou is a Cypriot interdisciplinary artist, educator, and gardener based in Berlin. Their artistic practice centers on socio-ecological themes, weaving together installations, performances, and printmaking through a blend of theoretical inquiry and material experimentation. As an art educator, Rigou enjoys hosting safer spaces for critical dialogue and political engagement, drawing on experience in collaborative and self-organized projects.
Alvin Collantes is a Filipino-Canadian dance artist, drag performer, certified Gaga teacher and a newly certified Jungian Life Coach based in Berlin. Drawing from his personal experiences as passionate raver, queer, immigrant and a person of colour, the essence of his research explores topics of assimilation and its emotional upheavals, physical sensations and untold stories of marginalized bodies and tackling the impact of drag & resilience in queer communities towards the cultivation of self-acceptance.
