She has published five pamphlets of poetry, and her first full-length poetry collection, Nothing Intensifies, was published by Pamenar Press in 2025.

Allysha Nila is a fashion stylist and writer. Known for her eclectic styling, Allysha is a unique voice and eye in Indonesian fashion, characterised by her bold conviction and considered approach. Starting her career at L'Officiel Singapore, the Jakarta-based stylist and writer is well-versed in the editorial language: serious yet playful, cerebral yet intuitive. Her working process involves extensive research, iterative experimentation, and collaborating closely with conceptual fashion image makers. This dedication has naturally led her to pursue education: she is currently a part-time lecturer at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore.

Sophie Seita is an artist and researcher whose expanded language- and performance works centre around the voice, treating materials as potential sites and occasions for reading and listening. Committed to multisensory languaging, Sophie often stages encounters through live performances, performative objects, sound installations, publishing, scores, (talking) textiles, garment sculptures as artist books or potential sets, creative audio descriptions, and somatic workshops, most recently, at Akademie der Künste (Berlin), Seoul Museum of Art, Kafkárna (Prague), Pipeline Gallery (London). Sophie is Director of Critical Studies and Deputy Director of Research in the School of Art at Goldsmiths and recently held residencies with Studio Voltaire (London), Künstler:innenhäuser Worpswede, Asortymentna Kimnata (Ivano-Frankivsk). Some publications include: Lessons of Decal (87Press) and plant-like, wave-like, rock-like: some messy proposals for hands-on listening (Fog: School of Ecological Imagination) and My Little Enlightenment Plays (Pamenar).
