Delali Zevon-Aniakwah is a vocalist, producer and composer hailing from Ngunnawal Country.

Following an adolescence sound tracking her life to idiosyncratic electronic music, she started her practice in Naarm as a lead and backing vocalist for jazz, soul & hip-hop artists.

In 2018 she reclaimed her electronic fixation, launching her experimental solo recording project VOLTA HYMN with her debut EP, CLEAN. After a return to her hometown and a string of single releases, she was awarded an Australia Council for the Arts & Phonographic Performance Company of Australia recording partnership to record and promote her forthcoming debut LP “Incognito Mode”

Delali draws from everyday euphoria - crushes, escapism, revenge fantasies - in her synth and voice driven experimental-electronic music which is equal parts staunch, celestial & introspective.

Jocelyn Tribe is an emerging artist who sees that culture and relationships are intrinsic to all that we do. She has been based in Gulumoerrgin (Darwin) since 2015. The decision to relocate from her hometown of Narrm (Melbourne) was about understanding herself in relation to the tropical weather, land, food and people that the North of Australia shares with Indonesia.

While ancestral relationships are embedded in her surroundings, she feels comfort as she discovers orienting her artistic narrative across the Arafura sea toward her Indonesian diaspora. Learning about the parts of her identity that were never directly integrated through family while growing up is her priority as she examines the somatic experience of this displacement. The expansion of her art, from works on paper toward sound and movement, holds the intention of taking up more space across disciplines.

With a BFA from Victorian College of the Arts, Jocelyn adapts her ability to navigate governance systems that function in community development structures, while unlearning their imposed conditions. She is the Vice Chair of Tactile Arts and facilitates screen printing workshops with Charles Darwin University, as well as remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory.

Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson is an Iranian Australian Bahá’í video artist, director and researcher. Her practise navigates inherited stories and post-memory felt by her displaced community following the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Through the poetics of the moving image, she invites viewers to become the ‘witness’ rather than the ‘passive bystander’, inviting a critical discussion surrounding empathy, trust, custodianship, compassion, and social change in response to the current global social and climate discourse. Her practice values align to empower the voices of women within her art making. Working in community arts and collaborative social practice, she examines empathy in film and poetry, uncovering ways to build empathy through emotional immersive experiences in order to close the gaps in finding the universal threads of culture, social, gender and spirituality that unite us all.
