Tiyan Baker works in photography and video, sculpture and installation. She draws on historical research to trace unseen relationships between words, places, and stories. Centring her Bidayǔh culture in her works, she is interested in things she has unknowingly inherited. Living far from her native lands, culture, and family, in the midst of the recolonisation of Borneo, she explores all that can be mistranslated or lost and what can manifest in its place. Part salvaging and part speculating, her imaginative storytelling and world-building reclaims her indigenous heritage in the face of intergenerational shame and disadvantage, systematic destruction of culture, and geographical disconnection from kin. Born and raised on the Larrakia lands known as Darwin, she lives on the Awabakal and Worimi lands known as Newcastle, Australia.

James Nguyen works in Australia and Vietnam. His videos, installations, and actions offer a way to think more openly about the world. Ranging from the diasporic absurd to representational refusal, everything and anything is up for grabs. He has a PhD from UNSW (on broken translations), a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Sydney (on the cinematic body), a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Hons) from the National Art School, and a Bachelor of Pharmacy from Charles Sturt University. He was a collaborative fellow at UnionDocs (Centre for Documentary Arts, Brooklyn, New York). He shows locally and internationally.

Gutiŋarra Yunupiŋu is a Gumatj man using new technologies to create contemporary expressions of timeless Yolŋu culture. His filmic self portraits created at the Mulka Project, a digital library and production centre located in Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land, explore his connection to Country. Born deaf, his work tests the possibilities of non-verbal communication in examining and representing self and culture.

Kate ten Buuren is a Taungurung curator, artist, and writer working on Kulin Country, who investigates collective and collaborative ways of working.

She is the founder and active member of First Nations arts collective This Mob, who make space for young artists to connect and create on their own terms. She is a curator at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne/Naarm, and was previously curator at Koorie Heritage Trust.
