Jean-Ulrick Désert is a Berlin-based visual artist born in Haiti. His artworks vary in scale and medium. Well known for his “Negerhosen2000” and his poetic “Goddess” projects, his practice visualizes “conspicuous invisibility.” He has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, the Walker Art Center, and in galleries and public spaces in the United States and elsewhere. He is a graduate of Cooper Union and Columbia University. He has represented Haiti/Germany at the 10th Havana Biennale, and commissioned for BIAC, Martinique's first biennale.

Richard Fung is a Trinidadian-born, Toronto-based video artist and cultural critic. Films such as Orientations: Lesbian and Gay Asians (1984) and Dirty Laundry (1996) deal with the intersection of race and queer sexualities. Others like My Mother's Place (1990) and Sea in the Blood(2000) are auto-ethnographic explorations of gender, race, sexuality, and colonialism. Installation with F-16s, Apache Helicopters, and Rock Doves(2003) and Jehad in Motion (2007) are documentary video installations on Israel/Palestine, and Out of the Blue (1991) confronts racism and policing in Toronto. His work is widely exhibited and collected internationally and has been broadcast in Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. His publications include the much-anthologized essay “Looking for My Penis: The Eroticized Asian in Gay Video Porn” and 13 Conversations on Art and Cultural Race Politics (2002), coauthored with Monika Kin Gagnon and thirteen artists and curators. He is a winner of, among others, the Bell Canada Award for lifetime achievement in video art and the Toronto Arts Award for Media Art. He is a professor in the faculty of art, OCAD University, Toronto.
