A collage of four headshots with text under reading "Meet our Embark Project Board" followed by the CRIPtic Arts and Shift the Scene Logos. The headshots are as described: Headshot of Lozza, a 24 year old, white non-binary person with a bright pink mullet wearing a funky shirt that is green, blue and black.

They’re wearing a colourful patterned headwrap, hoop earrings, and a white t-shirt as they sit in a wheelchair in their dining room. Anna, a white woman in her twenties with long dark hair, smiles at the camera. Miggy, a white non binary person with orange and blue hair smiles at the camera. They have purple eyeshadow and are wearing patterned red and yellow and brown dungarees, with a grey long sleeve shirt. They have a frog earring that's balanced on a tiny pumpkin
