Abraham Tettey
Abraham Tettey is a Ghanaian artist-curator whose work examines how postcolonial histories, ecological systems and digital infrastructures shape contemporary cultural futures. His practice interrogates how technological systems, from archives to artificial intelligence, reconfigure memory, power and knowledge production.
Drawing on archival research, socially engaged practice, and material experimentation, Tettey develops platforms where art functions simultaneously as archive, critique and speculative infrastructure. Through exhibitions, public dialogues, workshops and publications, he traces the circulation of knowledge across formal institutions and informal networks, asking how cultural systems might be restructured to sustain more just postcolonial futures.

Her work engages with artistic and cultural practices under shifting global conditions, focusing on anti/postcolonial discourses, imperial histories and networks of production and circulation of (digital) media.

Elisa Giuliano
Elisa Giuliano is a curator, researcher, theatre maker and lecturer. Together with Gabriëlle Schleijpen, she curated "Aeroponic Acts 2023": two days of different acts that offered questions as a practice of engagement and concluded the lecturers' two-year study trip to the Dutch Art Institute (DAI). As guest curator at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) in Berlin, she organised the workshop "Beneath Image and Script. Cosmogony and Conflict in Image Systems", which took place in June 2022 at the Villa Romana in Florence. She also co-curated the exhibition "Ceremony (Burial of an Undead World)" at HKW with Franke, Claire Tancons, Denise Ryner and Zairong Xiang, which spoke of continuities between cosmologies and myths of origin in order to shake the standard narratives of modernity and its place in history.
