Maria Möller is a Philadelphia-based artist who distills narrative from fact and interprets how story and place can reflect our innermost longings and collective hopes. Rooted in a background in theatre and finding a visual vocabulary in photography, her highly collaborative practice includes site-specific installations, participatory interventions, and community-focused events. Her work has been shown in Medellín and Barranquilla (Colombia), New Orleans (USA), and in the Philadelphia area at galleries such as the Painted Bride, Street Road Artists Space, Gravy Studio, and the Esther Klein Gallery – but she more often exhibits in alternative spaces such as street corners, empty lots, markets, libraries, and motels. She has been a grantee of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and was a 2017 resident at RAIR, Philly's one-of-a-kind recycling center residency. 

Ann Mirjam Vaikla is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and is engaged with interweaving decolonial and environmental positions in her practice as an artist, curator, and scenographer.

Krista Mölder is an Estonian artist who lives and works in Tallinn,  Estonia, is interested in issues of visual representation and mainly works  with photography, video, and installation. Her work often revolves around  dualities and the complex interplay of various forces, aiming to capture the  intricate imbalance of seemingly equilibrial situations and settings.  Intrigued by the lure that these situations possess visually, Mölder aims to  depict their potential and the inadvertent motion or flux that carries them.  With a professional background in geography and cartography, her practice  also deals with the similar representational complexities long familiar  within these disciplines. 

​

Her recent exhibitions include: …and Other Shades of Light with Kristi  Kongi at Tallinn Art Hall (2021–22), Bluebird. To the Other Me,Tartu Art  House, Estonia (2021), You Were a Bird, Temnikova & Kasela Gallery,  Tallinn (2020).
