Stephanie Creaghan makes work about how violence inserts itself into communication, combining different pathways (like audio and video) to uncover these latent forms of manipulation and the resulting pain to bring to light the undiscussed/repressed.

Nat Navi is an Latinx experimental techno producer, based and raised in Montreal. They create auditory landscapes taking inspiration from the void – exploring the known and unknown.

Dregqueen (Lees Brenson and Mitch Westcott) is a performative dragging of refuse meant to unearth the previously unseen, with both eyes pried open. Formed in Montreal in 2018, Dregqueen’s music is best described as “Trans Femme body pop” driven by feeling, intended to make the audience move.
