Kathia St. Hilaire is a visual artist whose practice explores identity, cultural memory, and the Haitian diaspora through painting and printmaking. Raised in a predominantly Caribbean and African American community in South Florida, her work is informed by the cultural intersections and tensions of her upbringing. Drawing from her lived experiences and ancestral history, she examines themes of urban space, spiritual belief systems, and hidden narratives within the African neo-diaspora.
St. Hilaire received her M.F.A. in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art and her B.F.A. in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design.

Aaron Kudi is a London-based painter and recent MFA graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art. Working on the floor with liquid metal, industrial enamel and ink on raw canvas, he surrenders each surface to gravity and oxidation before returning to excavate the forms the material has made. His work follows the Passion narrative through abstraction, and a recent body explores the transferred image one canvas pressed onto another, in the lineage of the Shroud.
At Vanucci he will make work from the earth of Città della Pieve itself, in the region that gave umber its name.
