María Conejo is a visual artist from Cuautla, Morelos, whose illustration practice confronts gender violence, shame, and bodily representation. Trained at the Escuela de Diseño del INBAL, she works across publishing, feminist pedagogy, and collaborative visual activism.

She co-created Pussypedia with writer Zoe Mendelson, a bilingual encyclopedia on anatomy, pleasure, and sexual health developed first as a digital platform, then as a book. Conejo illustrated the project using non-normative bodies and renamed anatomical terms historically assigned after male scientists.

Helena Gualinga is an Ecuadorian Indigenous environmental and human rights advocate from the Kichwa People of Sarayaku, an Amazonian community internationally recognized for resisting oil extraction on Indigenous territory through legal and political action.

Ecuador became the first country in the world to recognize the rights of nature in its Constitution in 2008, legally declaring that rivers, forests, and ecosystems like the Amazon have the right to exist, regenerate, and be protected. A radical idea that shifted nature from property to a living entity with rights.

Intercultural force, Tamara Flores, is a Viennese-Mexican artist merging Latin rhythms, bilingual songwriting, and theatrical pop into a sound shaped by migration, hybridity, and feminine power.

Her single “CHINGONA” reached #1 on FM4 in Vienna, earned an Amadeus Austrian Music Awards nomination, and appeared across MTV Latin America and Mexico City metro screens.

Her latest release INFINITO transforms fear, memory, and inner conflict into collective liberation, blending urban pop with Mozart’s “Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen” as a reflection of her dual cultural identity. The video was filmed during the Viennese winter with 40 female dancers across Stephansplatz, turning frozen public space into a choreography of sorority and freedom.

Yulissa Aranibar is a Peruvian stylist, creative director, and founder of Arranca Prod and Trapos Finos. She produced the Dior Lady Art Project shoot with Shipibo-Conibo artist Sara Flores in Pucallpa and has been published in C41 Magazine.

Her project "Mi Santuario" was made in Comas, Lima. Yulissa met José García on the street while he was dancing. She built the editorial around his room in a shared building, his breakdancing, and secondhand clothes from @pulgalatienda styled with hand-added details. José is from Iquitos, supports his family through street dance, and had never been in front of a fashion camera before this project.

"We tell everyone to always believe in themselves; that is the message we want to convey, especially when in Peru you have very marked or Peruvian features, since the fashion market here is inspired by the white European model, who for me do not represent my country." - Yulissa

Sofia Salazar Rosales, born in 1999 in Quito, Ecuador, is an artist working between Paris and Amsterdam across sculpture and installation, examining how objects carry social, economic, and political histories tied to global circulation.

Her work for the 17th Lyon Biennale, “Il y a des corps fatigués par le voyage qui cherchent à s’enraciner,” brings together industrial and craft materials, including sculptures referencing exported goods like bananas, while she writes letters to her sculptures as part of her process.
