Xin Cheng likes to walk, and do stuff around making by hand, ecology, conviviality (and sometimes being nerdy about typography). While living in Hamburg over the past three years, she hosted performative talks and workshops on everyday resourcefulness in Berlin, Sheffield, Mexico City; befriended dancers, film-makers, philosophers, junk traders; wrote stories for Hainamana, made books with Materialverlag and organised a multidisciplinary show on rubber trails.

Hoël Duret is an interdisciplinary artist whose projects begin with developing a fictional story that playfully gathers and questions various narrative styles and registers; in a meta-fictional way, the narrative process itself becomes equally important as the resulting artwork.
