Landis Pulido is an artist, educator, and healing justice practitioner who believes in co-creating a learning environment which strives to meet each community member where they are. Through the lens of Popular Education, she works towards co-creating an inclusive and safe environment. She believes in bringing in the breath, movement, and healing into the arts and creative space to invite wholeness and imagination.

Remy Sinegal was born in California, coming to the University of New Mexico for college where she received a Bachelors in Art with a minor in Medieval Studies. She is a poet and illustrator, using a variety of media such as pencils, paints, pastels, sculpture and digital media. History both true and fictional inspire the themes of her work. Inspired by multicultural mythology, folklore, as well as modern influences like animated media, wildlife and how everyone's personal experiences shape the world around them. Believing that there is magic in embracing the mundanity of life she tries to create something exceptional and fun every time she picks up a pencil. The art of storytelling to pass on cultural superstitions inspires her to write, and illustrate her own fantastical tales, which she hopes to bring to life one day through graphic novels or animation.
