LESN101 (Porn Siphanoum) is a Lao American artist blending graffiti, abstract expressionism, portraiture, and collaborative public art. Rooted in hip-hop and graffiti culture, his work explores healing, identity, empowerment, and self-liberation. Drawing from his family’s refugee journey and personal experiences, he creates work that transforms lived experience into connection and possibility. His current practice extends into community-based projects and immersive art experiences that bring people together through creativity. He believes art is not simply about what we make, but who we become through the act of making it.

NAGO makes music for ghosts. A sample-based hip-hop musician, NAGO collages audio into introspective sonic cinemas. Rooted in his upbringing in Springfield, Massachusetts, NAGO explores themes of family, solitude, and artistic responsibility. With an emphasis on the technology he uses, NAGO blurs time by shifting between rigid, computer-led patterns and soaring, abstract passages. Heavily influenced by both the foundations and future of hip-hop, NAGO’s work is where memory meets machine.
