Marco Joubert
Biography
Self-taught Canadian filmmaker and video artist with a background in architecture and visual arts. His audiovisual practice, characterized by formal rigor, lies at the crossroads of cinema, video art, poetry, and philosophy. Thematically, his work explores the specificity of the human condition: the implications of our capacity to think and reason; the gap between material comfort and basic needs; the difficulty of communication; and the ever-present awareness of mortality. His films create otherworldly realities that still resonate with common human experience. While pursuing an MFA at Concordia University (2022–2025), Joubert has been investigating how today’s technological ecosystem challenges our perceptions of humanness, as well as how innovative uses of audiovisual language can open new ways of thinking.

Nashom Benjamin
Biography
Nashom Benjamin Wooden (October 9, 1969 – March 23, 2020) was an American performing artist. Wooden was a member of the electronic dance music band The Ones and performed as a drag queen under the stage name Mona Foot.
He entered the New York nightlife scene as a Club Kid in the mid-1980's. By 1989, he worked in Manhattan running the men's clothing department at Patricia Field's boutique while developing the drag queen persona Mona Foot with his friend and former roommate Lady Bunny. Wooden credits RuPaul as an early mentor; RuPaul taught Wooden how to apply makeup, and both appeared in an off-Broadway play titled My Pet Homo. As Mona Foot, Wooden hosted the weekly drag competition "Mona Foot's Star Search" at the New York gay bar Barracuda, cited by The New York Times as a likely inspiration for the television series RuPaul's Drag Race.
In 1997, Wooden began to work as a bartender and DJ at The Cock, a gay bar. In 1999, he appeared in drag in the comedy-drama film Flawless. Along with JoJo Americo and Paul Alexander as the music group The Ones, Wooden co-wrote and performed the 2001 song "Flawless", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, #7 in the United Kingdom, and #2 in Belgium. Later in his life, Wooden began to perform less frequently as Mona Foot, stating that "it just kind of fizzled out. I stopped taking gigs." Wooden gave his final performance as Mona Foot in 2018, where he revived the character for that year's Wigstock to perform as Wonder Woman.
Wooden was HIV-positive, though he had an undetectable viral load. On March 23, 2020, Wooden died at the age of 50 as a result of complications from a suspected case of COVID-19 in New York, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City. He was buried at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
