Nono Gigsta (she/they) gets as much joy dancing to music as she does reflecting on it – either as an academic researcher, DJ, producer, promoter, radio host and zine-maker. Having performed internationally under the moniker Gigsta since 2015, Nono started avoiding flights altogether in March 2019 and later joined the campaigner network Stay Grounded.

She’s been vocal about climate justice issues related to hyper-mobility in the arts via her newsletter (https://nonogigsta.substack.com) and is regularly invited to host workshops and participate on panels. 

Saverio Cantoni is a white, masculine-presenting cyborg, disabled – oral Deaf – artist based in Berlin. They are the author of a series of research projects, from which cycles of interconnected works derive.

Saverio embraces tentacular thinking, developing different outputs that take the form of moving images, sounds, performative actions, and publishing projects; they combines different media to offer multiple access to their world-making. Abstraction of reality is their methodology for a collective reflection and critical interrogation of the present.

Saverio is actively participating in the Sickness Affinity Group (SAG), a group of art workers and activists who work on the topic of sickness/disability and/or are affected by sickness/disability.
