Dominick Porras
In my artistic journey, I identify as a seer, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of visions that appear in between reality and my subconscious. The source of my visions lies in the intricate interplay between dreams and elements such as land, language, and the inherent chaos in our existence, often entwined with the ongoing socio-political turbulence.
Susan Valladares
Susan Valladares is Associate Professor in Drama post–1660 at Durham University.
