In April 2019, he is presenting his MFA thesis show, Objects of Sound, at the FOFA Gallery.

Carmine Santavenere (Concordia University Canada)
Performer
I’m an Italian-Canadian artist born and raised in Vancouver, BC. Currently I’m based out in Montreal where I’m focusing on an MFA in Fibres and Material Practices at Concordia. I am a physical performer who has developed a material practice which stemmed from a focus in mask creation. I am currently obsessed with Paper Towel: It’s considered nothing, but is made of everything! I use my creations to extend my body to explore alternate worlds, narratives, different faces/identities, hidden feelings, and creatures.

Ayam Yaldo (Concordia University Canada)
Performance, installations, composition
Ayam Yaldo is a Canadian based artist born in Baghdad, Iraq. Through various interventions that include performance, installation, theater and video, she creates compositions that set up a particular relationship with space. These carefully constructed landscapes – being exterior as well as interior to the artist – create a psychogeography in which Yaldo is able to express views about identity and the principles of representation that dictate its formulation in the world. From this aspect of her work, Yaldo is able to set up interplays between herself as a performing body, self-portraiture and her history, the latter being formed of real artifacts and materials as well of representation of various kinds. From these ontological separations (body, image and structures), emerge a feeling of reconstruction, transformation and ephemerality, one that is closely tied to displacement as a way to look at and live one’s life.

Mathias Geerkens (Sint-Lucas Antwerp)
Audiovisual installations and performance
Belgian artist st.l creates audiovisual installations and performances. st.l stands for the principle that the work stands on its own and detaches from the individual artist. The work searches for the essence of the subject.
A recurring theme in the work is the human body and its accompanying expression. We look for the way the brain functions, processes and perceives, and the way in which our perception is coloured by someone's individual experience.
We look at the mutual bonds between different materials and peoples relationships to them. How these different relations speak to each other, what connections and dialogues arise and what links exist between inner and outer perception. We look for the similarities, differences, and uses between the different forms of perception, after which is searched for the influence on human psychology and vise versa.
We look for the psychological links between these actions, reactions and feelings between people and material in order to look for a stronger connection. We look for a new way of dealing with our conscious and subconscious mind, and how we can control this, which can lead to better control of our senses and to the development of new senses.

Fleur Roggeman (Sint-Lucas Antwerp)
Installation artist
I’m a 21 year old visual installation artist who loves to play with spaces on a scenographic level. I would like to work more with music and sound in general, so this is a great opportunity, and translate this to an abstract scene. For me light is the perfect visual translator for sound. Both are material you can’t physically grasp, but they are one of the best mediums to make an experience happen for the audience. And providing an experience is the highest goal for an artist from our new generation.

Sarah Adriaenssens (Sint-Lucas Antwerp)
Visual artist
"My artistic practice is based mostly on visuals with figurative and poetic qualities. Both analog and digital techniques inspire me to create. Sometimes I give life to the still image by animating it. My main sources of inspiration are oral stories and mythologies."

Aline De Feyter (Sint-Lucas Antwerp)
Graphic designer
I am a graphic designer and aspiring to be a type designer, in my current masters project science meets design in the form of a didactic book that informs people about what the learning disability comprehends and how it differs itself in the way of thinking rather than making 'mistakes' on tests. (a link to the research for my masters project: http://www.alinedefeyter.be/blog/ With the eye on the future, I wish to push this subject further into type design: as a solution to the chaotic perception of numbers in daily life. I also love motion graphics and how typographic forms can be manipulated, for example: http://www.alinedefeyter.be/100days/. I can't wait to experiment with real movements, typography forms and pushing the boundaries of the rules of 'type design' like legibility in contrast to abstract forms.
Joud Toamah (Sint-Lucas Antwerp)
Graphic designer
Here a short biography about me:
"I am a graphic designer, graduated recently with a masters degree in the visual arts. In my work I seek to build meaningfully with the tools of design around questions and causes that I care deeply about. Memory and archiving are central themes in my personal work. The materiality or immateriality of a given situation or experience inspire the questions and the ways I reflect on them. This can be from flora and fauna to digital, photographic, sensorial and ephemeral."

I am a graphic designer, but I like to combine my practice with other disciplines. By using analog and digital methods, I explore the possibilities of using contemporary technology in unexpected ways, during the design process.

Noémi Biró (Rotterdam)
Designer
I am a conditional designer based in Rotterdam, finishing up BA in Graphic Design, Autonomous Practices at WDKA. My fascination is finding the balance in the duality between tangible and digital. I am curious about work processes which start from an input and drive the research of exploring technology to create an interactive result. Currently I am experimenting with augmented reality and it's potential for an interactive installation in which the channel of augmentation is not the visual but the audio.
Jane Bergkotte (Rotterdam)
Photography, coding
In my work I am constantly searching for new forms and techniques to express my thoughts. These forms have a wide range, they go from analog photography to visual computer codes. Within these techniques I am finding ways to add interaction, so that my work can evolve beyond my own abilities.

Roberta Ceginskaite (Fontys)
Dancer
I am a second year dance performance student from Fontys Dance Academy, Tilburg. Born in Lithuania, Leprechauns caught me at the age of 9 and relocated to Ireland. Been improvising since the dawn of day, yet the setting in started from the age of 16 (i.e taking ballet lessons). I am curious about everything, yet right now my love is spreading into the surreal, absurd and sometimes honestly mundane on stage and observed in life.
This is a link to a little something myself and Emma Versluys made last summer.
