Kamila Jade Orbegoso (born October 21, 1995) is a Canadian-Peruvian multi-disciplinary artist. Her practice revolves around textiles and ceramics. She started her university studies with a psychology program and is interested in the effectiveness of art in the process of healing. For this reason she decided to put a pause on her psychology studies to explore her love for making and enrolled in a bachelor program at NSCAD University . She uses her hands to explore different materials, from fibers to clay and engages regularly in the process of learning a new skill. What motivates her practice is the process more than the outcome.
Caora McKenna (born March 11, 1994) is a Halifax-based journalist and maker. Her work in both journalism and craft is rooted in practical necessity – what is needed, and what’s the best way to serve this need – while also making room for, and honouring beauty’s role in practicality. Her work centers information ecosystems, the how, where, when and why people engage with a work, and the ideas of delight and fun.
