Born in 1996 in Svitavy, Czech Republic, Eva Yurková lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Yurková graduated from Painting and Printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig and later on, from Vienna’s University of Applied Arts where she studied Graphics and Printmaking. Known for her multifaceted work with collaging linocut, woodcut, colored papers and oil, she creates figurative landscapes, with both realistic and fantastical environments into which she sets her characters. With streamlined body forms, her figures are often female identifying, who are either alone or seen interacting with bodies similar to themselves. Set against surreal scenes with overlapping  floral and environmental elements, Yurková's dream-like landscapes evoke enraptured fantasy. In this way, Yurková portrays moments of public intimacy, but also a rejection of the systematic norms in which the gaze towards the female body is embedded.

Born in 1994 in St. Louis, Missouri where she currently lives and works, Palestinian-American artist Saj Issa explores vital topics, including cultural erasure, dispute, displacement, capitalism and climate change. The regional transition between Palestine, Los Angeles and St. Louis, Missouri where she is currently based, has had a significant influence on her practice, fueling her exploration of the current social context and the contrasting realities between these places. A standout of Issa’s works are the incorporation of Western languages, brands and logos – each a highly commercial aspect – layered before ornate ceramic tiles that have traditionally been tools to represent less atheist concepts. Saj Issa's commitment to documenting the social context and her surroundings remains steadfast, creating art that resonates with audiences worldwide.
