In her work, Vivian Crespo Zurita dedicates herself to performances, painting, and installations, employing various techniques and recycled materials. Her artistic career is woven with self-taught skills. In her work, she reflects on the ancestral power of women in her family and their spirituality. Vivian's art is a symbol of empowerment and an important tool in the fight against racist, sexist, and misogynistic discrimination faced by her as a Black woman. Her goal is to pass on a legacy to young Afro-diasporic individuals who are often made vulnerable in Austrian mainstream society.

Naya de Souza was born in 1991 in the Caatinga region of Brazil and grew up between the borders of Bahia and Pernambuco. Working under different alter-egos like "LUX VENÉREA" and "@Bundaskanzlerin," she transitions between disciplines such as performance art, comedy/stand-up, and cooking. Multilingual by birth and transdisciplinary by heritage, Naya's body of work transcends traditional boundaries, whether between disciplines, countries, or institutions. She views art as a perpetual process of immigration and translation.
Based in Berlin since 2016, Naya has stormed the cultural scene with her multimedia cabaret performances and politically charged stand-up sets.
