Lyall Hakaraia has been the Creative Director for vFd for the past 10 years. vFd is a space that nurtures, encourages and grows queer culture and community. In following this ethos at vFd, Lyall has been able to develop new audience and cultural relationships that have widened the conversations and visibility of Queer Culture.
Season Butler is a writer, artist, dramaturg and activist. Her writing, research and art practices centre around intersectionality and narratives of otherness, isolation and the end of the world. She would like to see an art world as committed to cutting edge practice in its politics as in its aesthetic sensibilities. Her work can be seen this year in the Baltic Centre for Contemporary for Contemporary Art, Latvian National Museum of Art, Tate Exchange, and her first novel will be published by Little, Brown in 2018.
Brian Lobel is an American-Camp-Counselor-turned-European-Queer-Performance-Artist. A poor man's Yoko Ono, a rich man's Tino Sehgal. Brian performs, teaches, curates and believes that queer art is wonderful.
