Alisha is an aspiring curator and researcher based in London. She has a BA in History and has focussed on, interpreting popular culture through a postcolonial and decolonial lens. She is particularly intrigued at the role in which contemporary art and the community play in disrupting and refiguring our archival practices. Alisha is keen to see how we can use exhibition spaces to engage in a broader dialogue that includes all of our stories. As a result, she finds herself gravitating towards discussions around the structures of museums and other cultural institutions. She previously worked within the Wallace Collection’s curatorial department, writing interpretative material for its many works of art and attempting to draw out new perspectives in the process.

Danni is a Taiwanese-Turkish writer and curator based in London, by way of Istanbul. Often auto-theoretical, Danni's work interrogates the Asian diasporic condition in its convergence with corporeal feminisms, chronic illness and posthumanisms. Since completing her studies in Culture, Criticism and Curation at Central Saint Martins, Danni has focused on commensality—the act of eating together—as an experimental curatorial method through which to tear and tuck into notions of (in)digestibility, love and deprivation, pleasure and pain. This led her to initiate “Moveable Feast”, a community cookbook made by and for the East and Southeast Asian diaspora in London, which quilts together the generational and geographical trajectories of comfort food recipes. Previously, Danni worked at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Cromwell Place, and most recently as Programme Coordinator at Delfina Foundation.
