Sara Ghazi Asadollahi is an Iranian visual artist who specializes in painting and sculpture. She holds her BA and MA in Iran and an MFA degree from Washington University in Saint Louis, and she is a PhD student at GSU in Film & Media studies in Atlanta, Georgia.
As an artist, Sara has always been fascinated by the dialectic between reality and imagination; where the lines between are blurred. Her work is inspired by abandoned places and ruins, as they form the subject of imagination and contemplation. Her work is always accompanied by interdisciplinary research on literature, philosophy, architecture, and cinema. In her recent work, she pursues the imaginary and real from the cinematic perspective of Dystopian Science- fiction.

Tiff J. Sutton was born in 1981 in Rochester, NY, and was raised in suburban St. Louis, MO. She began documenting family and friends after receiving a Kodak camera as a Christmas gift in the early 1990s. While primarily a self-taught photographer, she also attended classes at Washington University in St. Louis and St. Louis Community College. As a woman creating photographs of other women, her work asks her subjects to turn their female gaze on themselves, thus challenging their prior self-conceptions previously created by the male gaze. Sutton works with film and instant cameras.
