Monchoachi was born in 1946, in Martinique. His writing is marked by the astonishing character of the Creole language, a language rich in its very poverty, having preserved a speech unaltered by Western rationality, which is reflected in particular in its articulations and the constant play that inhabits it with the invisible. There he finds a resource from which to draw what the word as such has to say about our relation to the world, obstructed and deafened by its present course. Following a period of bilingual publication, Monchoachi transported Creole into the body of a writing that presents itself with a French surface, and there makes its own mark. Monchoachi lives in Martinique.

South African Dineo Seshee Bopape is a Polokwane-born multidisciplinary artist who combines a myriad of mediums using sounds, videos, and organic elements. Bopape's material and immaterial objects engulf the audience and attempt to understand the world and its narratives. Influenced by literature, thinkers, TV, books, music, popular culture, and recordings, Bopape creates experimental and playful video works and sculptural installations that reflect various aspects of culture. She finds inspiration in the metaphysical, spiritual, and cultural aspects of the earth--soil, clay, dust--which she reconstitutes as artistic forms that gently let the audience mediate and make their own interpretations. She lives in Highlands, South Africa.
