Nedd makes images with an illusory and carnivalesque vision, and in gloriously sensuous flights of imagery, he crafts visual stories of energy and identity, rhythm and rapture, glitter and grit. Fusing episodic encounters with moments from daily life and elements of the dreamlike and surreal, Nedd transforms the figures and landscapes of his surroundings into poetic works braided with recurring concerns and themes, often inspired by a mix of collective memories, shared experiences and his Caribbean culture.

Meredith Monk (b. 1942, New York City) is a composer, singer, director, choreographer, filmmaker and visual artist. In the mid-1960s she began developing her innovative performance work and her exploration of voice as a multi-faceted instrument, creating a unique style that has often been described as sounding both ancient and futuristic. In her music, ranging from solo works for voice and keyboard to ensemble and orchestral compositions, Monk draws from the voice’s ability to form primordial utterances and a range of sounds later termed “extended vocal technique”, mostly bypassing narrative, language-based structures while expressing universal human experiences.
A ground-breaking figure in interdisciplinary and site-specific performance, Monk’s visionary approach has had a significant influence on subsequent generations of artists and performers. Monk continues to push the boundaries of music, theatre, dance, video and installation
