Katarina Juričić is a Croatian visual artist, scenographer, and researcher based in Amsterdam. She is interested in human nature, the relation between symbolism and the collective unconscious, and the power of belief.

The strength of the human natural tendency to believe in man-made mythologies to explain the great mysteries of life. At the moment her research is focused on the historical origins of Good & Evil across different cultures, religions, and belief systems. The current medium of her practice is mosaic, an archaic form of image-making and an antipode to digital images and pixels. Photo by Igor Schiller.

Rosalie Kause's art practice primarily focuses on the exploration of shared moments. Unbound by rules or expectations, she aims to bring people closer together by evoking and creating collective memories.

While working across various disciplines, she often centers her work on food, dining, and culinary heritage, as food plays a central role in her life. Building on this foundation, she creates moments of togetherness through the making and sharing of her artwork.

Neeltje works as an autonomous visual artist with a background in dance, textile, and fashion design. Her melancholic-poetic signature is recognizable in various forms of expression.

Her work revolves around movement. Movement of bodies, movement in ritual, movement through story. She learns deeply through the body rather than the mind. Repeatedly moving until it is deeply rooted in her being; an embodied practice. Her goal is to research and further facilitate spaces for women to find what practices bring them closer to their bodily autonomy.

Clara-Lilian Berger is an artist specializing in photography, currently based in Berlin. Her work focuses on exploring questions of perception and dreams, delving into the spaces between reality and imagination. She is fascinated by the subtle, often overlooked moments in life—fleeting impressions and dream-like fragments that can slip through the cracks of everyday awareness. By superimposing and collaging multiple photographs into a single image, she creates layered compositions that stretch the boundaries of visual reality. At the core of her practice is an ongoing fascination with philosophy, universal emotions, and nature.
