Yong Sun Gullach
Born 1967, Seoul, Korea – based in Copenhagen.
Yong Sun Gullach works feministic interdisciplinary with performance, text, sculptures, film, sound and activism – investigating the endless reconstruction transnational adoptees are forced to endure in the neo-colonial global North, the body in diaspora being an archive and a vessel for trauma and pain.
Yong Sun Gullach has a cand. mag in Literature, University of Copenhagen 1997, en Masters Degree in Mediastudies, New School University, NYC 1999, a Diplomacy Degree in Management(UH), DTU 2011 and an Art Writing Masterclass, Aarhus Literature Center 2014.

Lina Hashim
Born 1978 in Kuwait City – based in Copenhagen.
A recurrent theme in Hashim’s practice is the investigation and exposure of aspects of Islam that are usually concealed from the public. Her investigations are in no way blasphemous, but are part of a critical, nuanced dialogue with religion. Hashim has said: “If Islam is a play, I want to show what goes on backstage.” In her investigations, Hashim has a two-pronged perspective on Islam: on the one hand, as a woman raised in Islam; on the other hand, as a critical viewer.
Lina Hashim graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2020.

Kim Richard Adler Mejdahl
Born 1990 – based in Copenhagen.
Kim Richard Adler Mejdahl is an artist and composer. Video is often an element in his cross-media works. His art often stems from a darkness from a childhood characterized by violence and neglect, and it is a wonderful mixture of hyperrealism with documentary camerawork and strong symbolism with set-up stills, animations and effects.
Kim Richard Adler Mejdahl graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (MFA) in 2019 and the Funen Art Academy (BFA) in 2015.
