Kira Xonorika is an AI-collaborative artist, author, and futurist whose work delves into the intersections of sovereignty, ancestry, futurism, gender-expansive identities, magic, and regalia. Her thought-provoking practice has been showcased in exhibitions across Los Angeles, New York, and Berlin. Kira has also shared her insights through lectures at prominent universities worldwide, including the University of Cambridge, University of Southern California, and King’s College London, further establishing her as a leading voice in contemporary explorations of art and technology.

Yoli, an indigiqueer shapeshifter, works across performance and interdisciplinary arts. Their practice intersects with queer intimacy, land-based sentience, and Indigenous cosmologies. As the creative visionary behind Teatro De La Vida, Yoli bridges ancestral healing practices with experimental theatre, creating space for performance as a mode of healing.

Their ongoing embodied research project, “El Cuerpo Presente”, reconnects the body with land-based wisdom from Mexican Curanderismo traditions, exploring how the present body connects to the Earth and our ancestors. Yoli’s work has been featured in DIY spaces, major events like Frieze LA, and academic institutions like Pomona College. Their art spans various mediums, including video, sculpture, writing, and movement, fostering community-led education and liberation from colonial disembodiment.
