Soya and Chantal

Soya (she/they) is a Cantonese ecoqueer, artist, and sex educator who works to deconstruct boundaries. She explores the mycelium-like interconnection between human bodies, natural materials, and collective liberation, often using rope, fabric, plants, and somatics to create ephemeral ecosystems of feeling and relation. 

Chantal Dobles Gering is a queer interdisciplinary artist, and apprentice to the seeds (they/she/we). They come from mixed latinx/german diaspora lineage, born on Huetar land in San Jose, Costa Rica. Their art practice gestures towards collective liberation through community movement improvisations, interspecies collaborations, ritual, sound, and poetry. Both artists currently live as settlers and guests on the land of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Peoples.
