    Allahyari employs digital technologies such as computer modeling and explores the intersection of technology and art activism. Exhibited in this Triennale is her VR installation She Who Sees The Unknown: Ya’jooj, retelling the stories of Ya’jooj and Ma’jooj, whom according to the Qur’an, spread great mischief on earth and represent chaos, so an iron wall was built to detain them, separating them from humans.According to the prophecy, the wall would crumble one day and their release would precede ‘the end of the days’. Allahyari uses the images of monstrous female and queer figures portrayed in Islamic cultures as points of departure to tell new stories in relationship to catastrophes of our time. She is the recipient of the leading global thinkers of 2016 award by Foreign Policy magazine, The Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant, and The Sundance Institute New Frontier International Fellowship in 2019.

    Andrew is a descendant of the Yawuru people whose Country is the lands and waters of the Broome area in the Kimberley Region, Western Australia. His work investigates the personal and family histories that have been denied or forgotten. Andrew’s work speaks to the past yet articulates a contemporary relationship to his Country―using technology to make visible the interconnecting spiritual, cultural, physical, and historical relationships with the land, waters, sky, and all living things. Programmable machinery is combined with earth pigments, ochres, rocks and soil to mine historical, cultural and personal events that have been buried and distanced by the dominant paradigms of western culture. He participated in Ars Electronica in Austria in 2017 and “The National 2019: New Australian Art” in 2019.

    Ligtas presents installation, performance and choreography that reflect conflicts and the reality he confronts in life. In his performances he plays several alter egos that reveal the notions of self as presence, persona and myth. In recent years, his artistic practices explore and examine human interactions and behaviors on social media platforms. Ligtas held a solo exhibition at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 2017 and was a grantee of the Asian Cultural Council of the same year. He held a solo performance at the Low Fat Art Festival in Thailand in 2019.

  • Born in Moscow, Russia. Lives and works in Moscow, Russia.
    Makhacheva is known for performance and video works that critically examine what happens when different cultures and traditions come into contact. Having grown up in Moscow with cultural origins in the Caucasus region of Dagestan, her artistic practice is often informed by her personal connection with the co-existing worlds of pre- and post- Sovietisation. For the Triennale, she presents a mixed media installation, where gymnastic apparatus is deformed and defunct, a multi channel audio announcing a series of verbal authoritative clichés used in institutional and private spaces, questioning the notions of body, discipline and control in current social patterns. Makhacheva has participated in many international biannuals including Moscow (2011 and 2015), Sharjah (2013), Shanghai (2016), Venice (2017), Riga (2018), Lyon (2019) and Lahore (2020).

    Nasmyth demonstrated talent in art and machine technology and showed a great interest in astronomy from his young age. After making a fortune by inventing the steam hammer for forging iron pieces as a mechanical engineer, he retired from business to devote himself in astronomical observation.
