Etel Adnan (1925–2021) was a Beirut-born poet, essayist, novelist, and visual artist. Her work moves across languages, forms, and geographies, through writing, painting, war, exile, landscape, and memory. Her books include Sitt Marie Rose, The Arab Apocalypse, and In the Heart of the Heart of Another Country.

corps étrangers is a duo by Lynn Kodeih and Elias Nafaa. Situated at the intersection of art and politics, their practice examines how present-day forms of violence become inscribed in systems, narratives, and spaces.

Mirna Abiad-Boyadjian is a researcher-writer and teacher based in Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyang / Montréal. For more than ten years, she has worked in contemporary art through writing, research, and editorial projects. Her current research explores the body as archive in the post-exilic experience.

Muriel Ahmarani Jaouich is a Canadian artist of Armenian, Egyptian, and Lebanese descent based in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. Her paintings draw on diaspora, oral histories, and archival materials to explore ancestral memory, lineage, and transmission.

Gabrielle HB is a musician and composer whose work moves between free improvisation and slow constructions, opening forms of tenderness, play, and transparency. She is one half of Désert mauve and of the minimalist ambient duo Jardin Joue.
