WILLOW STONE

“I’m a drag performer, model, dancer, and muse from London, usually found twirling, flipping, or strutting across a stage! My career began in Manchester, performing at queer raves and venues, spaces where I first found community and came into my trans identity. I’m still tied to the city through my Flygirls sisters, a queer DJ and performance collective touring this year!

“Since moving back to London, I produced my first show, a Transition Fundraiser at the Divine – a night I’ll forever be proud of. I’m also a cast member of Dakota Schiffer’s Transworld, performing alongside some of London’s best trans talent. You may have seen me walking runways across Europe, at fashion weeks, hair shows, or in Charli XCX’s film The Moment (spot the Brat tattoo). I’m so Julia, I’m everywhere.

“My work sits between documentation and dreamscape, rooted in emotion and heightened through movement and music. I’m drawn to themes of transness, belonging and becoming, combining vulnerability, softness and celebration. My dance piece 23 embodies this: a release, a surrender, dancing unafraid.”

“With a background in competitive gymnastics and coaching, my dance style blends acrobatics with freestyle and contemporary movement. I’ve also worked alongside incredible performance artists, including FKA Twigs on her live somatic performance The Eleven at Sotheby’s. I’m forever inspired by my queer family. They’ve fostered the environment in which I’ve grown creatively and I wouldn’t be anything without them! Community is what makes life worth living, especially during the scary times marginalised individuals are facing today.

“I’m now looking to expand into theatre and film, bringing my drag and energy to new audiences. I want to continue making work that feels authentic, contributes to culture, and showcases the never-ending talents of Miss Willow Stone! I hope to keep spreading my wings, being a visible force for trans people, having fun and looking glam along the way.”

INFINITE POTENTIALITY

“I’m KC Faulkner and I’m a journalism graduate and English teacher with a particular interest in small publishing and zines. I staunchly believe in the power of physical media in creating both experiences and a long-lasting imprint on the world. My main goal is to lower the barrier of entry into art, creativity and publishing, which is why we charge no upfront fees as a publishing company. This is exactly how Infinite Potentiality came about – the feeling of holding your work in your hands is priceless. The name, truth be told, was inspired by a favourite Machine Girl song of mine, but the phrasing resonates deeply with my cheesy philosophy. You can do it. Never give up. If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

“We focus mainly on local, independent creatives across the globe - mainly leaning towards queer and alternative works, but not exclusively. This extends from my personal friend group throughout London, but also brand new friends in Spain, Japan, South Korea, America and beyond. We are creating a supportive community that not only gets work seen but also connects people through our collaborative projects and allows people the freedom to experiment.

“We work closely with Real³ who are a creative agency and event runner in London, run by my great friend and VJ Cam Williamson, to create the change and support we want to see in the world, outside of the pre-established circles and institutions that you would have to 'infiltrate' or 'network' as we politely refer to it as.

"We have recently opened up, for the first time, an open publishing request for any artists/collectives who would like to see their work in print - we plan to expand into music distribution for small artists and bands this year too! Ultimately, I am bringing to life things that I would buy, filled with incredible art, poetry, photography, illustrations and essays from people I believe in deeply. This is for us, by us, and it will always be this way.”

HEYZA

“I’m HEYZA (she/her), a Jamaican-Indian heritage queer DJ from Birmingham, now based between Bristol and London. I’m a multi-genre selector whose sound gravitates towards techno, electro, footwork, sprinkled with UK Bass. I approach DJing as something rooted in politics, community and belonging. Music has always been a space of cultural safety for me, somewhere I can find refuge in making friends and strengthening relationships. I love the creativity that comes with making people move, because movement is the most revolutionary act.

“I started DJing at 13, heavily influenced by my dad, who was part of the Birmingham grime/garage collective Midlandz Mafia. Growing up around CDJs and booming speakers shaped me early on, but it was at the University of Bristol that my sound really expanded. Joining Bad B!tch Dubz, a womxn-led label and collective, and our residency at The Love Inn, played a huge role in shaping my musical ear and confidence. The Bad B’s are my sisters, and that community means everything to my journey.

“I’m deeply inspired by the history and politics of electronic music, especially Detroit techno and the Black queer communities who created it. It keeps me grounded and reminds me of the core of EDM despite increasing commercialisation and venue closures. Recently, I’ve released an album called Invisible Woman under my rap alias Stargirrl. I also have a new event curated by me, Blak II Future, in the works. My dream b2b’s are with Jossy Mitsu, OK Williams and Nia Archives.”

LUNA LA SIRENA

“I’m Luna La Sirena, a Brooklyn-based Indigenous videographer, archivist, and storyteller. I call my style ‘fantasy realism’ – a blend of raw memory with dreamy, gritty beauty. My work focuses on documenting and preserving BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ nightlife and community, centering ownership, visibility, and lasting narrative.

“I like to say I have been a story teller since birth. I have always been someone with a hyper imagination that struggled with bringing myself down from the clouds but I first picked up a camera when I was 13-years-old and I just never put it back down. 

“A recurring theme in my work is capturing the essence of moments that disappear as they’re happening. My work preserves the raw, fleeting energy of nightlife while revealing the emotion and identity that exist beneath the surface. I am drawn to the tension between impermanence and memory. 

“My influences have stayed with me since I was a teenager. Sofia Coppola was one of the first directors I recognised as an artist in her own right. Watching The Virgin Suicides for the first time, I remember thinking, ‘Holy shit, I’m not alone.’ I’ve always been drawn to her attention to detail, from her carefully chosen scores to her distinct approach to costume and atmosphere.

“My creative scene is in Brooklyn wherever the dolls and gays are. Outside of the club, I am either somewhere by water like the beach or river. That’s where the real inspiration comes from. I always have something in the works, but I prefer to move in silence. You can usually find me running around Paragon as the resident videographer, camera in hand, chasing my next shot. My dream collab is definitely Lana Del Rey. She has narrated the trajectory of my life and it would just be very full circle. I have so many ideas.”
