About the Artists
Madyha J. Leghari (b. 1991) is a visual artist, writer, and educator working between Lahore and Washington, DC. She earned a BFA at the National College of Arts, Lahore (2013) and an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (2018) on a Fulbright Scholarship. Her practice often revolves around the possibilities and limitations of language, and is often positioned in the indeterminate spaces of translation, cultural friction, and semantic lacunae.
Landon Newton is an artist, gardener, and independent researcher whose interdisciplinary practice considers the reciprocal relationships between plants and people. Her ongoing and collaborative project The Abortion Herb Garden focuses on abortifacient, emmenagogic, and contraceptive herbs explored through gardens, workshops, performances, and site-specific sculpture. Recent awards include the Socrates Annual Fellowship, LMCC Artist-in-Residence at Governors Island, and On Our Radar, Creative Capital. Her work has been exhibited at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Frieze New York, and Queens Museum among others. Landon works and gardens in New York City.
