Sofia Montenegro works between sound, image, text and performing arts. She studied Fine Arts and Cultural Studies in Utrecht and Madrid and has an MA in Art Praxis from the Dutch Art Institute. Her artistic practice encompasses different methodologies that connect the visible with sound and action in space, seeking other ways of producing images in the present. Her works can be installations, listening and observation sessions, collective encounters or performances. She has recently shown her work in exhibitions, actions and performances at La Capella in Barcelona, La Papelería, the Ana Mas Projects gallery, the Blueproject Foundation, the Centre d’Arts Santa Mònica, Can Felipa Arts Visuals, Bulegoa, MNCARS, LCE, El Chico Madrid and Kunstraum Bethanien Berlin, among other venues. She won awards from Barcelona Producció 2023–24 and Generación 2022, and was a resident at Hangar in Barcelona, Futurama Alentejo, BilbaoArte and CRA Matadero Madrid from 2023 to 2024.

Amaya Hernández has a PhD in Fine Arts and is a visual artist and teacher. Her research studies the memory of vanished, transformed or resignified spaces and architectures. She has received prestigious awards and creation grants during her career like Generaciones from Caja Madrid, the Bancaja Digital Art Award, the INJUVE award and the Creation in Visual Arts grant from the Community of Madrid, among others. Her works have been displayed at institutions and museums like La Casa Encendida, El Círculo de Bellas Artes, the Centro Cultural Conde Duque, the IVAM (Valencia) and the MAC (A Coruña).

The work of Patricia Esquivias addresses issues that are ignored in our history and society in a highly personal way. Imitating the work of an ethnographer, the artist conducts her research by interviewing people from different fields, reviewing archives and walking. The narratives she creates from this process, with irony but no aim for precision, invite spectators to reread history. Esquivias studied art in London and San Francisco and has done stays and residencies in Skowhegan, USA; Wiels, Brussels; ‘Schloss Solitude’, Germany; ‘Residencia en la Tierra’, Colombia; ‘Rif Post-Residencie’, Morocco; Transcultural Academy SKD, Germany; and ‘Programa de Residencias Matadero’, Spain. She has received several creation grants to enable her to develop her projects, such as Hilar largo with production grants from La Caixa and the Community of Madrid; the video Cardón Cardinal with the BBVA Multiverse grant; the book Cardón cardinal with the Vegap creation grant; the Cardón Cardinal tapestry with a Residencias Matadero grant; the video installation Walking Still with a grant from the Fundación Botín; and Folklore III with Generación 2009. She has displayed her works in Spain (Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, CA2M, CentroCentro, La Casa Encendida, TEA Tenerife, Artium Vitoria, CGAC, CAC), Germany (Frankfurter Kunstverein, Langenhagen Kunstverein, Dresden Kunsthaus, 5th Berlin Biennale), the USA (White Columns, Murray Guy, Hammer Museum), Italy (Arcos Museum) and England (East International, Tate Modern).
