Jewlia Eisenberg (z"l) worked at the intersection of voice, text, and diaspora consciousness, primarily as the leader of the ensemble Charming Hostess. Duets include "Book of J" with Jeremiah Lockwood and "Red Pocket" with Marika Hughes. Her music is mostly released on the Tzadik label Radical Jewish Culture imprint. Her recordings include Sarajevo Blues on Bosnian resistance poetry and Trilectic on the political-erotic world of Walter Benjamin.

Eisenberg's work has been curated into The Contemporary Jewish Museum and the Museum of Peace in Uzbekistan. She performed regularly in Europe and the Americas. She has been a visiting artist at CalArts, MIT, and the University of Colorado, where she taught on the boundary lands holding music and critical theory.

Seth Eisen is an artist, writer, director, dramaturg, historian, and archivist. His work is a hybrid of visual art and live performance, blurring the edges of art, research and activism. Eisen is the Artistic Director of Eye Zen Presents and engages LGBTQ2IA+ history as a living, breathing dialogue by researching lost legacies. He has a passion for creating oral histories and archives to help preserve the legacies of artists and change makers. A Radical Faerie ritualist, Eisen creates immersive environments and images that center on the retrieval of queer ancestors, sacred queer sites, and the collective memory of the queer body. Trained as a visual artist and performer at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Naropa University, and John F. Kennedy University, he has worked as an arts educator, mentor, and lecturer for over thirty years. Since 1993 Eisen has staged performance pieces, street spectacles, and installations and has curated and appeared in numerous collaborative projects with other Bay Area artists including Butoh companies Harupin-Ha and Ink Boat from 1994–99 and 2000–2010 with Keith Hennessy and Circo Zero touring across the U.S. and Europe. His solo performances, visual art, and installation projects have been featured locally at spaces from YBCA and Oakland Museum of California and in numerous art spaces on both coasts for over thirty years. In 2007, Eisen founded Eye Zen Presents, an ensemble theater company that creates live performance and community-building events illuminating under-recognized queer ancestors combining physical theater, dance, puppetry, drag, circus, installation and video art.
