Note:

Rajni Perera (b. Sri Lanka, 1985) is a multimedia artist based in Toronto. She explores issues of hybridity, futurity, ancestorship, migrant and marginalized identities/cultures, monsters, and dream worlds. Perera seeks to open and reveal the dynamism of the icons, beings, and objects she creates by means of a subversive aesthetic that counteracts antiquated, oppressive discourse and acts as a restorative force. Perera’s work is in the collections of the AGO, the National Gallery of Canada, the Sobey Foundation, and the Musée De Beaux Arts de Montréal.

Nep Sidhu is an interdisciplinary practitioner who works through the metaphysics of form and spatial rhythm within the context of community and self-expression. Sidhu's work seeks symbolic pathways that help to realize the formlessness of the divine through endless possibility and search. Sidhu has exhibited with the Nagoya City Museum; Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit; MOCA, Art Gallery of York University, Aga Khan Museum (Toronto); Esker Foundation (Calgary); Heard Museum (Phoenix); The Frye Museum of Art (Seattle); and Glasgow International.

Moto is a limited-edition print based on a collaborative painting by Rajni Perera and Nep Sidhu. It is inspired by the aesthetics of Sidhu's series of garment works titled Paradise Sportif and Perera's futuristic Travelers.
