Joe Dumit – Davis (CA), USA. An anthropologist of passions – be they brains, games, bodies, drugs or facts. Most articulate about just how strange we all are in doing what we love, and how our loving and living is influenced by what (and how) we ‘know’. Traveling around Europe and the US, his stories do trickster magic – they inspire us to let go and celebrate with strange creatures. At best: to join lichen in their slow partying and supportive napping. Ceaseless inspiration and support!

Alma Maria Simon – Amsterdam, NL. Multimodal dancer and thinker interested in using improvisation to enrich how we make meaning together (with artificial or real others, words and by moving our bodies in space). Alma and I look at subtle shifts in experience as access points to the shared root systems and atmosphere that we constantly create.
