Angelita Biscotti creates site-specific performances, music, visual art and astrology-themed participatory experiences that enable feeling witnessed and taken seriously, especially for those with precarious relationships to power. Angelita explores energies around hope, frustration and deferred satisfaction, drawing links between private desires and public norms. This multi-disciplinary practice has been presented at various shows, publications and exhibitions at Thailand Biennale (through Liquid Architecture), West Space Offsite, Debris, Dancehouse, Footscray Community Arts, Visual Diary, 99% Gallery, and many more. Angelita is among this year’s Bespoke Artists at Speak Percussion, and a new PhD researcher at RMIT University's Media and Communication program.

Kip Mac is a non-binary autistic musician and composer originally from the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron people, now living on Wurundjeri land. Sometimes they perform covers of hardcore, metal, grunge, and punk songs on piano. Other times they perform original songs using vocals, piano, and electronic elements triggered live via their laptop. As a classically trained pianist and choral composer, their solo performances combine elements of classical and popular music together. Their most recent release was a 6-song EP called ‘Autistic Meltdown / Natural Disaster’ which uses the metaphor of natural disaster to explore the taboo and misunderstood topic of meltdowns.
