Marie-Andrée Pellerin
Marie-Andrée Pellerin is a pluridisciplinary artist who explores the interplay between the geological and societal realms. Her works employ a variety of media, including video, sound art, installation, performance and tufting. Her recent work engages with the poetics of weather, exploring how atmospheric phenomena shape soundscapes, mental states, and social narratives. Central to her practice is speculative thinking, through which she creates fictional institutions, new words and fake disciplines. She collaborates with musicians, meteorologists, linguists and writers.
Marie-Andrée Pellerin has exhibited work at BPS22 Art Museum of the Province of Hainaut, Belgium; Kunstforum, Austria; and Center for Contemporary Art (CCA), Scotland, among others.

Jade Kallio
Jade Kallio is a Helsinki-based filmmaker and artist working across experimental film, performance, and visual arts.

Kallio explores how social norms shape possibilities for existence and visibility. Current projects blend documentary, speculative fiction, and magical realism while considering production structures, working conditions, and questions of narrative authority.
