Abigail Lucien is a Haitian-American interdisciplinary artist. Working across sculpture, literature, and time-based media, their practice addresses themes of (be)longing, futurity, myth, and place by considering our relationship to inherited colonial structures and systems of belief/care. Implicating our relationship to material and place through an architectural vernacular, Lucien uses formal poetics to ponder concepts such as loss, love, and grief as fluid processions rather than states to reach or become. Exhibitions include Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France), MoMA PS1 (Queens, NY), SculptureCenter (Queens, NY), and Baltimore Museum of Art (Baltimore, MD). Lucien is Assistant Professor and Area Head of Sculpture at Hunter College, New York, NY.

Manuel Mathieu is a Haitian multi-disciplinary artist. Working across painting, ceramics, olfaction, and installation, his practice investigates themes of historical violence, erasure, and spiritual legacy by considering cultural approaches to physicality and nature. Drawing from his upbringing in Haiti and later emigration to Montreal, Mathieu utilizes a distinctive abstract visual language to create phenomenological encounters that find meaning through a spiritual or asemic mode of apparition. By allowing amorphous forms to vacillate and dissolve, his work explores the tension between inherited tradition and boundless, traversable landscapes of desire. Mathieu has held solo exhibitions at MoCA North Miami (Miami, FL), Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Montreal, QC), Longlati Foundation (Shanghai, China), De La Warr Pavilion (Bexhill-on-Sea, U.K.), and The Power Plant (Toronto, ON).

Malcolm Peacock is an American multidisciplinary artist. Working across performance, sculpture, and time-based media, his practice explores the emotional and psychic spaces of Black subjects by considering the intricacies of intimacy and communal presence. Utilizing a methodology of "slow choreo," Peacock proposes a synchronized deceleration of mind and body to decouple the value of life from labor productivity while heightening sensory engagement with one's surroundings. By prioritizing the "untouchable" yet deeply felt remnants of human connection, his work fosters the development of the self in relation to others within both natural and built environments. Exhibitions include Whitney Biennial 2026 (New York, NY), MoMA PS1 (Queens, NY), Carnegie Museum of Art (Pittsburgh, PA), Baltimore Museum of Art (Baltimore, MD) and Artists Space (New York, NY).

Tadáskía is a Brazilian multidisciplinary artist. Working across drawing, writing, painting, sculpture, and "apparitions," her practice explores themes of transformation, freedom and cosmologies. Utilizing a kaleidoscopic palette and organic materials such as taboa (reed), bamboo, charcoal, and fruits, Tadáskía creates mystical landscapes and imaginative environments that foreground the experiences of the Black diaspora. Her work often employs a fluid, improvisational mark-making process to navigate between familiarity and foreignness, proposing the passage of time as a central protagonist. Solo exhibitions include Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY), Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (Düsseldorf, Germany), and Musée d'Art Contemporain de la Haute-Vienne (Rochechouart, France). She was a featured artist in the Bienal de São Paulo 2023, the recipient of the 2025 K21 Global Art Award, and named on the 2025 TIME100 Next list.

Sarah Zapata is a Peruvian-American multidisciplinary artist. Working across handweaving, latch-hooking, and sewing, her practice employs labor-intensive textile processes to explore the intersection of gender, ethnicity, and pre-colonial histories. Utilizing an "architectural vernacular" that transforms soft materials into loud, immersive landscapes, Zapata investigates systems of power, control, and cultural relativism. By integrating traditional Peruvian weaving sensibilities with modern American carpet-making, her work functions as a site of resistance and a celebration of the "in-between," proposing a queer futurity that bridges ancient civilizations with contemporary experience. Exhibitions include Arizona State University Art Museum (Tempe, AZ), Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art (Kansas City, MO), Museum of Arts and Design (New York, NY), and Barbican Centre (London, UK).
