Gabriela Salas
Gabriela Salas is a curator, creator, and above all, collaborator. They have a diverse range of interests, and lived experience resulting in multi-skilled, interdisciplinary, and culturally aware work.
Gabi cares deeply about their many hats, and wears them often. They are often seen taking on too many gigs, and saying yes to too many projects, then blaming their passion for history, social causes, art as a catalyst for change, and the power of communal creation on it.

Kitty Osman
Kitty Osman is a fan of the playful and erotic and looks to emulate the masters who taught her that the romance surrounding the human body was sacred. Or potentially she’s just a huge pervert. Either way, she has written since youth and is currently working to create the most epically titillating poetry pamphlet that it might actually induce instantaneous (but completely consensual) orgasm in its readers. Cumming 2024.
An(dre)a Spisto
An(dre)a Spisto is an award nominated neuroqueer, actor, director, writer and artist. They make a mish mash of live theatre, art buffoonery, comedic interventions, and film. Trained at Lispa (Art-Haus Berlin) in Lecoq with a focus on clowning. Dre’s work has been described by critics as genre-smashing, surreal, gentle, bracing and exuberant.
