This year’s CATALYSTS are diverse in style, expansive in their their arts practice impact, and dedicated to the continued growth and development of their craft. Their work centers around the intersection of culture and identity, confronting gender expectations, and the exploration of movement and memoir - united in certain thematic elements but individually reflective of their unique experiences.
