- Dr Zainab Bahrani, Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University who specialises in Ancient Near Eastern and East Mediterranean art and archaeology
- Hardeep Dhindsa, a Classics PHD student at Kings College London who specialises in the history of whiteness and white supremacy in classical reception' and a freelance illustrator who recolours ancient statues in eye-popping colours to disrupt the images of whiteness we see in museums today.
