Meiro Koizumi Installation, new media... Meiro Koizumi lives and works in Tokyo. He investigates the boundaries between the private and the public, a domain of specific importance to his native Japanese culture. His videos are often based on performances and constructed scenarios. He places characters, played by himself or others, in awkward situations.	Martha Araújo Performance Martha Araújo’s practice seems now crucial as it emerged in a very complicated moment in Brazilian history, just at the end of a long dictatorship and developed in the early years of a very young democracy. Her work reflects in a strong and poetic way the longing for liberty after decades of repression.	Milena Bonilla Video Milena Bonilla actively investigates our often fallible notions of history through everyday interventions that trace interactions between nature, politics, and cultural production. Exploring the Aristotelian dichotomy between physis (nature) and logos (reason), she confronts our biases.
Angelica Mesiti Video Using performance, video, and installation to produce forms of intimate storytelling, Angelica Mesiti has a particular interest in non-verbal forms of communication, such as Morse code, sign language or the “whistling languages” of the Mediterranean.	Shitamichi Motoyuki Photography Shitamichi Motoyuki’s photographic documents are often a result of serendipity. He lets himself be guided by his various encounters as he traces places where collective memories manifest in or intersect with the lived and shared environment. As a consequence, his works provide opportunities to consider the gradual changes in communities’ daily customs.	Emilija Škarnulytė Video Emilija Škarnulytė explores the psychological power that our environment holds over us. Intertwining fiction with documentary, her videos and multimedia installations ponder the invisible relations between the physical world and our social imaginary, from the notion of geologic time and its influence on our relation with history.
