Nicki Green is a transdisciplinary artist working primarily in clay. Her sculptures, ritual objects and various flat works explore topics of history preservation, conceptual ornamentation and aesthetics of otherness. She has exhibited internationally, notably in La Biennale de Lyon, Lyon, France, the New Museum, New York and Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris, France. Green is a 2022 Tiffany Foundation Award Winner, a 2022 Nancy Graves Foundation Grantee, and a 2020 ART MATTERS fellow. She received a BFA from San Francisco Art Institute (2009) and an MFA from UC Berkeley (2018). She is an Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Alfred University.

Jeanne Vaccaro is a scholar and curator whose writing and social practice trace the idiosyncrasies of the archive to activate liberation histories and coalitions. She is Assistant Professor of Transgender Studies and Museum Studies at the University of Kansas. Previously, she was a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute and inaugural scholar-curator at the ONE Archives. She is the curator of Scientia Sexualis at ICA LA and is a co-founder of the NYC Trans Oral History Project, a community archive partnership with the New York Public Library.
