Abigail Lucien is a Haitian-American interdisciplinary artist. Working across sculpture, literature, and time-based media, their practice addresses themes of (be)longing, futurity, myth, and place by considering our relationship to inherited colonial structures and systems of belief/care. Implicating our relationship to material and place through an architectural vernacular, Lucien uses formal poetics to ponder concepts such as loss, love, and grief as fluid processions rather than states to reach or become. Exhibitions include Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France), MoMA PS1 (Queens, NY), SculptureCenter (Queens, NY), and Baltimore Museum of Art (Baltimore, MD). Lucien is Assistant Professor and Area Head of Sculpture at Hunter College, New York, NY.

Manuel Mathieu is a Haitian multi-disciplinary artist. Working across painting, ceramics, olfaction, and installation, his practice investigates themes of historical violence, erasure, and spiritual legacy by considering cultural approaches to physicality and nature. Drawing from his upbringing in Haiti and later emigration to Montreal, Mathieu utilizes a distinctive abstract visual language to create phenomenological encounters that find meaning through a spiritual or asemic mode of apparition. By allowing amorphous forms to vacillate and dissolve, his work explores the tension between inherited tradition and boundless, traversable landscapes of desire. 

Tadáskía is a Brazilian multidisciplinary artist. Working across drawing, writing, painting, sculpture, and "apparitions," her practice explores themes of transformation, freedom and cosmologies. Utilizing a kaleidoscopic palette and organic materials such as taboa (reed), bamboo, charcoal, and fruits, Tadáskía creates mystical landscapes and imaginative environments that foreground the experiences of the Black diaspora. Her work often employs a fluid, improvisational mark-making process to navigate between familiarity and foreignness, proposing the passage of time as a central protagonist.  She was a featured artist in the Bienal de São Paulo 2023, the recipient of the 2025 K21 Global Art Award, and named on the 2025 TIME100 Next list.
