Kumalie Riley
Kumalie (Rosalie) Riley is an Arrernte woman from Tyuretye/Mparntwe (Alice Springs) with spiritual affiliations and connections to the land, hereditary from her grandmother.
Kumalie is an Arrernte Elder and artist, whose practice is rooted in language and cultural education, with many years of experience teaching Arrernte language in local Alice Springs schools and institutions. At Watch This Space, Kumalie has recently initiated a new basic conversation course that follows basic principles of Arrernte language and conversation simultaneously traversing aspects of traditional culture, education, local sites and mapping. In Kumalie's practice as an educator she offers both private and group tuition.
She has contributed to widely-acclaimed publications such as the Eastern and Central Arrernte to English Dictionary, and the Eastern and Central Arrernte Picture Dictionary (both published by the Institute for Aboriginal Development).
Kumalie is a highly experienced interpreter and translator, and is frequently called upon to assist with court interpreting and recording radio, television and DVD scripts in Eastern/Central Arrernte.
Stick Mob Studio
Stick Mob Studio are a collective of powerful storytellers who reimagine and rewrite stories that disrupt business-as-usual, which left unchecked control physical, knowing and speculative bodies – ours included!
Stick Mob creatives - Seraphina Newberry (Arrernte/Pitjantjatjara), Alyssa Mason (Arrernte/Pitjantjatjara), Wendy Cowan (Irish/British), and Declan Miller.
(Arrernte/Anmatyerre/Scottish/Irish) – work from the premise that art and storytelling are dynamic portals that reshape reality. Tread carefully.
Our mix of cultural, quantum, sci-fi, and everyday stories opens up time-spaces for identities to shift, time to warp, and for matters such as blood, rocks and workshops to be anything but inert, passive or known.
Stick Mob’s creative approach is a celebration of hanging out together to tell stories, sketch, and laugh a lot.

Vito Lucarelli
Vito Lucarelli is an electronics, sound and music enthusiast. Most of their electronics work to date has been largely around analogue synthesis. Generally, with the intention of creating analogue circuits that either produce or manipulate sound, but has recently begun applying this knowledge to video synthesis.
Vito is self-taught in this discipline and is firmly of the belief that the secrets of the world are hidden inside YouTube videos and online forums.
Vito also produces music under the name V.N. Lucarelli. This music is in the realm of ambient/experimental/melodic-noise and it utilises analogue and digital modular synthesisers to create emotive and dynamic soundscapes.
