Bise Angelkovska has been a vibrant part of the community radio scene since 2012, having built her broadcasting career at Sydney’s 2SER FM, where she wore many hats—producer, reporter, and presenter. Bise’s connection to water runs deep; growing up in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, she spent countless hours immersed in the ocean, exploring rock pools and relaxing in hot springs. These formative experiences nurtured a lifelong love for aquatic environments and continue to inspire her work today.

Tessa Campisi is studying environmental science and policy. She doesn't like sand, but she loves layering sound, music and voice to tell stories about how people shape, and are shaped by, the natural world.

Lauren Mavromati Bourke (they/them) is an artist and community worker, whose work explores entangled themes of colonialism, borders, gender, intergenerational trauma and collective memory. They explore these themes through motifs of water and the parallel realities between humans and marine creatures. Currently, Lauren is focused on bordered environments, examining how the decommonisation of water through borders and nationalism shapes the realities of all living beings.

Mimi Amberber is a community worker with a love for being in and around water. Mimi is particularly curious about different communities’ connections to the ocean, as well as humans’ relationships with other animals and the environment around us.
