Biography
Jackie Ashkin is a Netherlands-based spoken word artist and researcher. Half-Malaysian and half-American, her writing draws on twenty-something years of experience living between and across cultures. Join her for a lyrical tour of intrusive thoughts and hot news items as she tries to make sense of a world falling apart at the seams – without getting too sad about it.
Jędrzej Jędraszyk is a Polish ambient guitarist who uses music as a tool for healing. He combines hypnotic loops with field recordings of nature and hushed conversations to create immersive, blissful and textured soundscapes.
