Gael García Bernal made his feature film debut in the Academy Award®-nominated Amores Perros. Most recently, Gael starred in the film No, which directly relates to his T-shirt design that was inspired by the student demonstrators whose "No" votes ultimately overthrew the Chilean Pinochet regime in the late 1980s. He sees this symbol as a sign of empowerment through youth and education.

Xu Bing began his art career at the crest of China's 1985 "New Wave" movement. He relocated to the United States after the Tiananmen Square massacre, and has since emerged on the stage of global art as a hugely popular figure.
