Rachelle Mozman is an artist whose work is primarily based in photography and video. Through close study of the history of the Americas and the practice of psychoanalysis, her work seeks to situate the self in historical time, while contemplating possible futures. Born in New York City, Mozman now works between Brooklyn and Panama, “the home of [her] family, and deepest love stories.” Her work makes visual the often hidden mythologies reified by structures of power – “including the internalized kind.” Mozman is a Fulbright Fellow, and has exhibited in galleries in the United States, Mexico, Germany, France, Chile, Uruguay, and more. In 2021 she had a solo exhibition, All These Things I Carry with Me, at South Bend Museum, South Bend, IN. In 2020 Mozman released her monograph, Colonial Echo with Kris Graves Projects.

Satpreet Kahlon is a Panjabi-born artist, organizer, and educator based on Coast Salish territories. She received a full-fellowship to pursue her MFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 2019. She co-founded and -ran an Indigenous arts organization that supported 400 artists with over $2m of opportunities and rematriated 1.5 acres of greenspace that was slated for development during her tenure from 2017-2023. For this work, she was named one of the Most Influential People in Seattle by Seattle Magazine in 2019.
Regarding her artistic practice, she has written in a statement: “My practice is concerned with illegibility, inscrutability, and collapse. Beginning with the understanding that most Indigenous cultures are existing in a post-apocalyptic reality, I approach the act of building sculpture as a kind of prayer: a futile attempt to communicate with and better know generations of lost, unknowable histories. An endlessly looping signal without reply.”
