Bekah Fly is a poet, musician and visual artist. Originally from NYC, her work is influenced by graffiti and surrealism. She has been battling auto immune illness for the past decade and uses art as a way to process and heal. She has performed music and poetry at The Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Joes Pub, The Brooklyn Museum and Queer Poetry Influx collective. Because of being a disabled artist and having lived through many year periods with long stretches of quarantine as well as sometimes having to wear a respirator mask her response to the pandemic is from this very specific perspective. She is interested in raising awareness/finding and bringing love poems and spells to marginalized people, those who live on the fringes and within the cracks, and how to bring art/medicine to them.

Alejandro Chellet is a multidisciplinary artist and social practitioner in cultural and permacultural networks. He was born in Mexico City raised in a family of artists and performers, he currently lives between Upstate NY where he practices permaculture and NYC-CDMX where he is also a cultural producer curating and providing exhibition space for other artists. His artwork functions in close relation with the audience primarily making use of waste, public space, architecture and performance: addressing the misplaced core principles of coexistence, the loss of connection with Nature cycles, and the political and environmental context of urban societies
