Aruni Dharmakirthi is a Sri Lankan-born artist and educator based in Brooklyn, NY. 

As an artist, they explore migration, memory, and relational dynamics. They utilize personal mythology to expand on ideas of self and interdependence. Through the visual language of divination and deity worship, their work takes the form of shrines as a conduit to ancestors and past/future selves.

Through their creative practice, they probe the potential of generative fiction and visualization to heal histories of trauma. Imagery is pulled from their research of folklore, visualization meditations found in Mahayana Buddhism and personal archives to create collage-like tapestries and soft sculptures. Dharmakirthi's practice embodies processes of ritual through techniques such as sewing, weaving, and needle felting.

Dharmakirthi received an MFA in Visual Studies from the Pacific Northwest College of Art and a BA in Studio Art and Art History from Florida State University. 

Dain Susman is a multi-faceted creator in the realms of visual art, photography, and architecture. His work explores how concept-driven processes influence imagery and space, and where the overlap of the two skews our perception. Dain approaches projects systematically, utilizing contextual influences to develop project themes through quantifiable actions (operatives) and unique fabrication techniques. As an artist formerly based in the northwest, he is especially interested in sculpting moments where urban byproducts intersect with nature, and how imagery drives the inclusion of found objects in his work. Dain currently lives in Bed-Stuy with his pet goldfish, Mr. Fish, and is a big fan of solo road trips across barren landscapes.
