Abdul-Rahman Abdullah (born 1977, Port Kembla, NSW) lives on a cattle farm on Bindjareb Nyoongar Country, Western Australia. Shaped by formative experiences as a "Muslim kid with mixed heritage", on his father's side he is a seventh-generation Australian descended from convict arrival in 1815, and on his mother's side, from Bugis and Minangkabau royalty in Malaysia. Abdullah's earliest influences growing up in inner-city Perth included comic books, fantasy novels, skateboarding, hip hop, a haunted family home, Sufism, boxing, and grunge, and "living a very grass-roots existence as a lo-fi creative kid in the 1980s and 1990s."

Kirtika Kain is an artist and educator working on Dharug land. Combining elements of sculpture, experimental printmaking and painting, Kain’s practice draws from her Dalit lineage and investigates material histories and ancestral memory and the complexities of caste in the diaspora.

Kirtika recently completed a studio residency at ACME London, supported by Creative Australia. She has exhibited in Wake Up Call for my Ancestors (2022), Berlin and Plea to the Foreigner, African Biennale of Photography, Mali (2022), Okkoota (2023) at Artshouse Melbourne, collaborating with critical Dalit voices in the subcontinent and diaspora. She has presented new commissions at the 24th Biennale of Sydney and 6th Kochi-Muziris Biennale (2025-26).
