Marcela E. Torres, Born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Torres received a BA in Sculpture Intermedia and a BFA in Art History from the University of Utah, They continued their studies with a MFA in Performance from School of the Art Institute Chicago.

Torres builds sensorial performances and dynamic objects that create portals into reflective zones where the contemporary timeline confronts historical ancestral moments. In these liminal spaces we can investigate Latinie/x experiences of colonization, crises and transition that manifested diaspora and distance from our indigenous culture. 

My research is scholarly, physical and community based as a triad that unlocks hidden memories within our bodies and brings it to the forefront of our collective mind.

Ling Gui is a graduate of the New York Academy of Art, where she specialized in sculpture. Her work centers around "Tùtu," a whimsical bunny character she created.
