Lala Raščić
Lala Raščić is a multimedia artist exploring tangible and immaterial cultural formulae to build narratives that are manifested through video, live performances, installation environments, objects and drawings. Her interests are simultaneously trained on contemporary and historical storytelling practices, complex systems of mediated knowledge production, as well as folkloric forms and mythology. Her work inhabits the space between concept and theatricality, often confronting the idea of high culture with popular, mass-media, and traditional cultural expressions, via a critical, namely, feminist position.

Renata Poljak
Renata Poljak graduated from the Split Academy of Arts in 1997 and completed her postgraduate studies at the École régionale des beaux-arts in Nantes in 1999. Her work primarily addresses sensitive issues of Croatian social reality, and her critical approach is rooted in a personal and introspective, often autobiographical, perspective, partly shaped by her experience of living in big cities such as San Francisco, Vienna, Paris, Berlin and New York. In 2012, she founded video art festival Lovely Days in Bol on the island of Brač.
