Kayla Kurin is a writer, comedian, and journalist from Toronto, Canada.

Christina Oyawale is a Toronto-born self-proclaimed “anarchist punk boy” and emerging multi-hyphenate artist, graphic designer, researcher + curator. Oyawale holds a BFA in Photography from Image Arts at Toronto Metropolitan University and currently is an MFA candidate at University of Manitoba for Fine Arts. Working with film, photography and text, they use memories, shared Black feminist history and knowledge sharing in order to create work that emphasises curiosity of learning and documenting the importance of slowness. Currently they are attempting to break free from the expected and frequent uses of identity politics under our current neo-liberalist society, that requires marginalized people to sell their identity in exchange for “visibility” in the art world and academia.

Inspired by mourning research, Connie’s work is a visceral response to emotions, body sensations, and experiences in nature. She works across media, installation, sculpture, video, performance, and sound to contextualize imaginings of unknown spaces before life and after death that bookend the transitions into and out of consciousness. In a meditative process that allows the world’s noise to dissipate, she looks for answers to difficult questions, focusing on the work’s essential qualities in the moment. The isolated and spare visual results create an intimate and immediate connection to the work and serve as a reminder that this moment is all there is.

She is using her time at NES to begin research on a new body of work. Through the lens of her grief research, she will look at the loss of ocean ecosystems and water’s relationship to human and non-human bodies. Her profound connection to the Pacific Coast of Northern California is the impetus for this new work, as kelp forests continue to die due to the imbalance of the ecosystem from ocean warming.

Born in Washington, DC, Connie received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and attended Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California, where she received an MA in psychology. To support her current research, she was awarded the Cabins Haystack Residency Fellowship in Norfolk, CT, received two Artist Grants from the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs, trained as a death doula, and studied Butoh.

Stephanie Rohlfs is a visual artist and occasional writer based in Oakland, California (USA). In her work, she explores the way humans and animals interact with objects. Her recent body of work grows out of these interests to explore American doomsday prepper and new-age wellness cultures, creating a series of sculptural objects to be activated “in case of emergency.” In her time at Nes, she will continue this work with a series of small ceramic and painted works, as well as complete a series of short stories loosely inspired by doomsday prepper acronyms.
