Amber Simone Veronica Ablett is an artist and writer based on Osterøy, Norway. Using performance, text, sound and re-enactment, her work looks at the importance of belonging to how we be together, with a focus on how our society shapes, reflects, controls and limits our multifaceted identities. Ablett uses her own stories of generational migration and Afro-European descent, as starting points to create a space for questioning, communality and critical thinking; she is interested in how we learn about ourselves through learning about other people and the conflict between our internal and perceived sense of home.

Ro Averin (they/she) is a PhD candidate in Pedagogy, where they analyse and explicate racism and antiracism in teacher training, and education more broadly, within the Norwegian context.

Combining this intellectual upbringing with many years spent as an antiracism and social justice consultant and educator, Ro continues to root their work in Pedagogy in Black radical, Black feminist/womanist and Indigenous theories, methodologies, pedagogies and ways of knowing.

Ayesha Jordan is a multidisciplinary performance-based artist and creator. Most recently, alongside her collaborators, she has been developing a new project entitled Shasta Geaux Pop presents: Shasta Greaux Crops. She was awarded a Princeton Hodder Fellowship to support the development of this work. Her research has been based in applied permaculture studies, regenerative community/ecosystem formation and adaptation, event curation, and how these can be explored through performance, or how they can inform performance methodologies. Ayesha's artistic pursuits extend beyond conventional boundaries, intentionally amplifying marginalized voices, especially from the global majority and disenfranchised communities. Her work encompasses themes such as ritual-making, multigenerational knowledge and exploration, archives, legacy, and collaborative and cooperative modes of production.
