EMJI SAINT SPERO is a writer, performer, and pervert living in Los Angeles. They are curious about the potential of creative intimacies. Their practice a series of approaches: documentation, personal ephemera, and somatic ritual. Through movement and collaborative performance they seek to queer the familiar, mapping the boundaries of collective engagement.

ELDER SISTER is the materialisation of incantations voiced from the marrow of broken bones,
human DNA, ancestral imprints, whispers of hope from other dimensions and future triumphs, channeled through unpredictable songs of delayed guitars, vocal loops, and collected transmissions of everyday sounds. Elder Sister is Jane Paik who persists as an artist, musician and healer for creatives, mystics and misfits. A wanderer by nature and forever situated in duality, she now resides between her hometown of Los Angeles and longtime home in the City of Magic - Torino, Italy. A dig into the past will unearth the Janet Pants Dans Theeatre, a pioneering experimental dance troupe that booked and toured like a band in the independent music scenes of the 90s/2000s. An easy stroll across the way will reveal the flip side of Elder Sister as the vocalist in the art-damaged, no wave, folk band Muscle Beach.

SHELLY BADAL works within a sensory practice to cultivate sites for relatedness and presence via performance, sound, light, video, language, and community organizing. Her work examines will, connection, and their plasticity under various conditions. Ongoing research in prosocial behavior and nonlinear expressions of time serves as the basis for her experiential response to theory. Her audiovisual works blend color abstraction with vérité footage and field recordings using analog and digital processes, often incorporating reflective materials and projection. Drawing on inherited tradition from the Caucasus Mountains, she engages with presence as a material. Her writing and workshops offer metaphor as a tool for navigating the self. Badal’s work has been exhibited at Human Resources, Navel, Coaxial, MOCA, OPaf, the Wolford House, and Flowerhead Gallery. Her films have been shown in Los Angeles, Moscow, San Francisco, and Seattle.
