Osamu Shikichi (b. 1994, Saitama) is a choreographer and dancer based in Tokyo and Brussels. Their practice questions the human body as something often taken for granted, challenging notions of bodily self-possession and identity. Shikichi explores the idea of the anonymous body through performance, video and mediated sculptures, blurring and remixing how bodies are recognised, gazed upon and politicised. Drawing on personal experiences of dissonance between body and mind, their work focuses on WET (Weird Erotic Tension) movements, ASMR-like sensations and the circulation of affects across human and non-human bodies.

Swilipino is a creative identity and food project initiated in 2018 by Tintin Jonsson, a photographer-turned-chef seeking a new creative outlet and a deeper connection to her dual heritage. Through her Swedish-Filipino lens, Jonsson cooks Filipino-inspired dishes that reflect both personal memory and cultural exploration. Drawing from the rich, multicultural foodways of Mindanao, where her mother is from, Jonsson blends traditional Filipino flavours with touches of Swedish nostalgia, creating what she playfully refers to as ‘Frankenfood’, food that sits joyfully between worlds.

Abbas Zahedi (b. 1984, London) is an artist working at the intersections of sonic and sculptural forms, exploring systems of care, thresholds of experience and the social architectures of our time. His practice has been described as a form of dissociative realism, moving between intimacy and estrangement and attuned to forms of meaning that sit beyond the purely material. A former medic with training in psychiatry, Zahedi holds an MA in contemporary photography and philosophy from Central Saint Martins. Recent awards include the Stanley Picker Fellowship (2024), Artangel: Making Time (2023), Frieze Artist Award (2022), Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award (2021) and the Khadija Saye Memorial Scholarship (2017).
