Adrij Ghosh
Born near Kolkata in Rajpur (2000) Adrij Ghosh is an Indian artist and academic researcher. He did his Bachelor's in Human Development at West Bengal State University and has continued to pursue an MA in Linguistics from Jadavpur University.
His visual work has always been paper-based, exploring traditional Bengali wash techniques and experimenting with different kinds of ink washes and surface building. His recent practice has been in making surfaces on paper using ink, water and other fluid material such as lac dye and then sculpting/engraving an image out on the paper. His process defines his reality as much as his reality defines his process.

Avijit Halder is an Indian-born American visual artist based in New York City. Beginning with photography and continuing with painting, performance and installation, Halder explores their past and present identity as an artist, articulating experiences of loss, belonging, displacement, and transformation.

As a child, Avijit was featured as one of the children in the academy award-winning documentary “Born into Brothels”. Halder currently holds an MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies from the ICP-Bard College and a BFA in Film & Television from New York University.

Lily Yoonsoo Hyon
Lily Yoonsoo Hyon (b. 1997) is a Korean-born artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She is a current MFA candidate at the School of Visual Arts (2025) and received her BFA in Studio Art in 2020 at Sam Fox School of Visual Art & Design, Washington University in St. Louis.
​
Hyon uses disposable materials against acts/ materials of permanence–such as ink transfer prints on cigarette rolling paper, silicone and wooden sculptures bound and wrapped in ripped fishnet stockings. She uses materials that are supposedly feminine but does not treat them as such– as seen in her mechanical hand wrung approach of tying, winding, stretching–which shows aggression and most of all, pain. Hyon’s practice revolves around themes of religion, pleasure, disposability, reciprocity and repulsion.
