Teo Ala-Ruona is a Helsinki-based performance artist whose work focuses on speculative somatic fiction and body horror in forms of performances and texts. Ala-Ruona discusses techno-trans-masculinity, sex, queer ecology and toxicity through re-defining language and narratives telling about pleasure and intimacy on a toxic Earth. By often using his own body as a site for various speculative stories to take place, he experiments on how through fiction he can transform himself, as well as the perspectives from which others look at his body.

Alexander Auris is a Peruvian architect and researcher based in Brussels. His work unfolds from an intimate exploration of his own intersectionality in relation to space. The results are presented in different types of media such as video, writing, performance, and spatial design. He is the founder of Queer World, a research project exploring queerness as a human condition and its relation to space in cities worldwide.
