Cassandra Troyan is a writer, artist, organizer, and educator whose work explores the intersections of gendered violence, radical histories of resistance, sex work, and speculative futures beyond capital. They are the author of several books of multi-genre work, including Freedom & Prostitution (2020), A Theory in Tears (2016) and KILL MANUAL (2014), and have presented, performed, and screened their multi-media work internationally. Forthcoming in 2021 from Veer2 is Against Capture, a collection about trauma, love, isolation, and abolitionist dreaming for the end of incarceration, captivity, domestication, and borders towards trans-species solidarity. In collaboration with Helen Pritchard, they work on the on-going research project across their institutions entitled, “Multispecies Methods for Solidarity Stories” which seeks to use transdisciplinary methods as part of a virtual lab, to allow writers, scholars, artists, designers, and theorists to build collective practices. They live in Kalmar, Sweden and teach theory, practice, and creative-critical writing as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Design at Linnæus University.
Helen V. Pritchard is an artist-designer and geographer whose work considers the impacts of computation and digital media on social and environmental justice. Their research addresses how practices configure the possibilities for life — or who gets to have a life — in intimate and significant ways. As a practitioner they work together with companions to make propositions and designs for environmental media and computing otherwise, developing methods to uphold a politics of queer survival and practice. They are currently working on the book project “Animal Hackers and Critter Compilers”; and together with Cassandra Troyan a research project across their institutions entitled, “Multispecies Methods for Solidarity Stories” which seeks to use transdisciplinary methods as part of a virtual lab, to allow writers, scholars, artists, designers, and theorists to build collective practices. Helen is an Associate Professor of Queer Feminist Technoscience & Digital Design at i-DAT, University of Plymouth and a research fellow at Goldsmiths University of London. They are the co-editor of Data Browser 06: Executing Practices, published by Open Humanities Press (2018) and Science, Technology and Human Values: Sensors and Sensing Practices (2019).
