Kumalie is an Arrernte Elder and artist, whose practice is rooted in language and cultural education, with many years of experience teaching Arrernte language in local Alice Springs schools and institutions. At Watch This Space, Kumalie has recently initiated a new basic conversation course that follows basic principles of Arrernte language and conversation simultaneously traversing aspects of traditional culture, education, local sites and mapping. In Kumalie's practice as an educator she offers both private and group tuition.
She has contributed to widely-acclaimed publications such as the Eastern and Central Arrernte to English Dictionary, and the Eastern and Central Arrernte Picture Dictionary (both published by the Institute for Aboriginal Development).
Kumalie is a highly experienced interpreter and translator, and is frequently called upon to assist with court interpreting and recording radio, television and DVD scripts in Eastern/Central Arrernte.
Vito Lucarelli
Vito Lucarelli is an electronics, sound and music enthusiast. Most of their electronics work to date has been largely around analogue synthesis. Generally, with the intention of creating analogue circuits that either produce or manipulate sound, but has recently begun applying this knowledge to video synthesis.
Vito is self-taught in this discipline and is firmly of the belief that the secrets of the world are hidden inside YouTube videos and online forums.
Vito also produces music under the name V.N. Lucarelli. This music is in the realm of ambient/experimental/melodic-noise and it utilises analogue and digital modular synthesisers to create emotive and dynamic soundscapes.

Mary Barton
I'm a painter and drawer, I use oil and gouache. I love the feeling colour brings to a space and the emotion it makes us feel. My work is an intuitive response to my surroundings. I play with composition, texture, surface and shape. I'm interested in abstraction and am continually trying to solve technical and compositional problems within the picture.
Gabriel Curtin
Gabriel Curtin is an artist, writer and editor. He is in incalculable debt to Fred Moten, Stefano Harney, Mariame Kaba, Tessa Laird, John and Mali Cavanagh, Snack Syndicate (Astrid Lorange and Andrew Brooks), Alexis Wright, Priyamvada Gopal, Beth Sometimes, László Krasznahorkai, Patrick Chamoiseau, Lukas Penney, Donna Haraway, Ender Başkan, Sophie Moorhouse Morris, Simone White, La Familia (Bryan, Sam, Sarita, Nawel), POETRY foundation, Tam Hanson, Minor Compositions, the list continues on and on and on
Eremaya Albrecht
Eremaya Albrecht is a photographer and artist who responds to people, places and the spaces between. Using the substructure of conceptual art, alongside a personal and political viewpoint, she seeks to express the world around her. Constantly in a state of experimentation, her practice embraces the ambiguity of passing moments caught in a still frame. Moments captured as a form of poetry. She approaches photography with intuition and emotion, utilising analogue photographic techniques and the moving image.
