MUNEERA PILGRIM:

Muneera Pilgrim is an international Poet, Cultural Producer, Writer, Community Researcher, Broadcaster, TEDx Speaker and WOW Festival Speaker. She conducts workshops, shares art, guest lectures, hosts, and finds alternative ways to educate and exchange ideas while focusing on methodologies of empowerment for non-centred people. At heart, Muneera is a storyteller, concerned with telling stories to disrupt mainstream narratives of non-centred people globally.

JADE AYINO:

Jade Ayino’s work naturally tends to explore themes of fragility within social constructs, the autonomy in femininity, and the introspectiveness of intersectionality. The aim of her work is to blur, bend and bounce the boundaries between creative disciplines, creating focus on shifting art culture to be more immersive and accessible whilst curiously finding new ways to entertain, educate and influence herself along with future and past generations.
