Amber Ablett (she/hun) is an artist and writer based in Vestlandet, Norway. Using performance, text, sound, and reenactment, her work looks at the importance of belonging to how we be together, with a focus on how our society shapes, reflects, controls and limits our multifaceted identities. Ablett uses her own position, as a Black woman of Irish, Trinidadian and British heritage living in Norway, as a starting point to create a space for questioning, communality and critical thinking; she is interested in how we learn about ourselves through learning about other people and the conflict between our internal and perceived sense of home.

Nina Eriksson is a dyke artist and writer based in Bergen. In her work, she explores the multiplicity of queerness and the liberatory potential of making new language for the queer, the erotic, and the body in which they collide. The work is recurrently concerned with failure as a queer means of liberation. Eriksson approaches failure to perform the expected or normative as a possibility, an opening for something else entirely. She makes sculpture work, text work, and performances that warp and queer everyday concepts and objects—most recently keys (in the master project an old dyke in the flesh who is an emblem for the rest) and job interviews (in the performance, butch renaissance tear well: GAY JOBS). In 2025, she ran a writing workshop on poetic language for the body and a keychain workshop at Hordaland Kunstsenter on the occasion of the exhibition Skakke folkedrakter—Ikkje en draktutstilling.
