  • Mariana Mauricio is a visual artist born in Brazil and based in London. She holds a Master's degree in Fine Arts with Distinction, from Goldsmiths University, and a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins. Mariana's multi-media work involves the reinterpretation and recontextualization of collected photographs and objects, employing interventions and manipulations that breathe new life into what she finds. This process allows her to explore themes of memory, identity, copy and the passage of time, often blurring the line between reality and fiction. Mariana's work has been shown in individual and group exhibitions, nationally and internationally. Her work is part of Estrellita and Daniel Brodsky Collection and the BGA Brazilian Golden Art Collection. Mariana is also actively involved in sharing her creative process with younger audiences. She founded Wild Trumpets, an initiative focused on exchange and collaboration between artists and children.

  • Goia Mujalli is a Brazilian-born artist who lives and works in London. She completed her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art (2017) and her BA in Fine Art, Painting at the Slade School of Fine Art (2015). She is currently a visiting lecturer at Arts University Bournemouth, received the Ashurst Art Prize in 2018 and has exhibited internationally. In her practice, she explores the identity of plants through a method of abstraction. These symbols then become elements for play in her paintings, combining paint, embroidery, fabric, and stitching. In her sessions, students will participate in methods of collaborative painting and drawing. Exploring fauna, flora, music, found objects, we will create an imaginary world. We will work with materials such as paint, marker pens, found objects, books on flora and fauna, developing ways of creating abstraction.

  • Katie Shannon, is a multifaceted artist who lives and works in Glasgow and London. Her artistic practice is diverse and includes events, sound, moving image, print, sculpture, and dressmaking. Shannon's work often revolves around the collective experiences and alliances formed on dance floors, touching on themes of kinship that diverge from traditional family structures or reproduction. This focus allows her to explore both the joy and melancholy of what she refers to as a 'stretched out adolescence', a concept influenced by queer theory. Shannon is also heavily involved in various collaborative projects. She co-runs the record label Domestic Exile and a Goth club called So Low, in addition to curating late-night events such as Daisies with artist France-Lise McGurn. Her commitment to her craft extends to her participation in an all-female identifying welding group, Slaghammers. Her accolades include residencies at CCA Creative Lab Glasgow, Hospitalfield Arts Arbroath, and membership in the Collective Gallery’s Satellites programme. Shannon's exhibitions and performances are diverse and have been showcased nationally and internationally. Notable works include a Late at Tate Britain event with France-Lise McGurn in 2019, her solo show "Bad Timing" at Lunchtime Gallery Glasgow in 2019, and a solo installation "CLIMAX club wear for babes" at the Loftus Hall Berlin in 2019. One of her exhibitions, "Last song for a waterbaby," part of Collective's Satellites Programme, exemplifies her unique approach, blending sound, image, print, sculpture, and video to articulate the nuanced experiences of dancefloor kinships. In addition to her exhibitions, Shannon has also made significant contributions in other art venues such as ZK/U Berlin, Evelyn Yard London, and the Voidoid Archive Glasgow. She was part of the programming committee of The Pipe Factory in Glasgow from 2015 to 2018, illustrating her deep engagement with the artistic community. Her work also extends to playing live within a band, which further informs her visual art practice.

  • Maomi Meindl is an artist based in London. Her work extends into an interdisciplinary practice, that often centers around sculpture and performance. Through closely examining site-specific dynamics, she explores the performativity of the spaces she engages with, seeking to root questions of transnational subjectivity.

  • Georgina Hill is a visual artist based in London. After completing an MA in English Literature at UCL, she studied in the class of Hito Steyerl at UDK Berlin and now also holds an MFA from Goldsmiths University, London. In 2022, she presented her first solo exhibition in Paris at Galerie Charraudeau and published an artist’s book with Éditions Lutanie, Paris. In her sessions, she will use the sculptural qualities of our immediate environment as both an inspiration and material in the students' practice, developing tools for interpreting and engaging with the world around us. She will work with materials such as paint, plaster, and found objects, building up the students' confidence to think and create with aspects of abstraction and poetics.

  • Thomas Pellerey Grogan is a French-British artist. He is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London (MA, 2018) and of the École Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne (BA, 2016). His practice focuses on esoteric rituals and their meaning when projected onto contemporary settings driven by technological tools. His work materializes through sculpture, video, and performance – the foundation on which he builds speculative fictions and investigates the role of emerging technologies play in recalibrating our current ecology, both physically and virtually. In his sessions, students will construct new imaginaries through shaping malleable matter and reshaping existing objects. They will learn tools and processes for worldbuilding and storytelling. The aim is to explore the narrative properties of art, rethinking our current world and its future.

  • Jazmin van Breda (b.2001, Sussex) lives and works in London. Graduating from Central Saint Martins with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, she works sculpturally specialising in woodwork and ceramics. 

    Jazmin’s sculptural work is an exploration into the displacement of objects within architectural space and considers how environment influences perception and response. The objects she makes are domestically familiar but distorted to remove their functionality and represent their altered form, purpose, and status within the public sphere.

    Inspired by architecture and furniture and the human relationship between the two, she captures movement patterns symbolic of how audiences respond to artwork within different spaces and shapes her work to symbolise human behaviour and preoccupations.

    ‘I consider the degree to which audiences are guided by the spaces around them and how we are inherently directed by the architecture we inhabit.’

     Her work attempts to awaken memories of domestic familiarity and is inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s vision of ‘the daydreamer’ and a space to daydream:

    ‘The house shelters daydreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.’ (Bachelard, G.,1958).

    Jazmin’s sculptures create a space that positions itself between the private and the public, highlighting the impact of public exposure and environmental influences on perception and interpretation. Connecting the audience to her work through emotional engagement, evoked by memory and personal daydreams, is at the heart of her practice.

  • Gianna T (b. 1993) is an Italian artist who investigates the child-like curiosity towards our experience of theworld through the medium of video, performance and painting. During his performances his body interactsand harasses the surfaces of the canvas blending together in an ironic choreography where unpredictabledances and unstable balance take place. The old and known medium of painting is used as a body extensionin a perspective reversal where through hindrances and unexpected movements the artist finds himself in adiscovering condition, an initiation, a baptism. A game that aims to sensibilise the understanding of thingsbeyond information, where the need for real contact and denial to the label are the only way to real awareness.There is an attempt to bring to light a childish attitude where discovery is structured upon the unlikelyadoration of the medium rather than a study of it.Gianni T studied at Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino

  • Vincent (b. 1993) is a London-based artist who's practice circles around the exploration of the known and the unknown. Central to Vincent's artistic practice is the concept of dismantling the familiar to find confidence in the unfamiliar. To do so Vincent uses aesthetics from the day-to-day life, particularly those associated with bureaucracy and formality. The seriousness of Vincent´s concept is paired it with humor and playfulness.The truth lies in layers which can be found and unfolded. The world is not black and white the world is colourful. In his work Vincent tries to push boundaries and to envision new possibilities, emphasising the transformative power of looking behind the curtain. In essence, Vincent's work serves as a catalyst for rethinking and reimagining.Vincent obtained a BA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2022 and is currently completing the final year of his MFA studies at Goldsmiths University.

  • Born in 1999, Auersperg, an emerging artist with a BA ins Fine Art 3D from Central Saint Martins, London. Emilia transforms discarded domestic objects into fantastical forms through meticulous processing techniques. Her work challenges our connection to material possessions and evokes compassion for discarded items, infusing humor and absurdity to address societal issues. Auersperg disrupts consumption-driven culture, exploring the afterlife of objects and their potential transformation. Through the interplay of animate and non-animate elements, she breaks down object identities, questioning historical and social dependencies. Her sculptures and paintings create afterlife environments, inviting contemplation of continuous cycles in the natural world.

  • Sihan Ling is a London-based artist with an MFA from Goldsmiths and a BA from the Luxun Academy of Fine Art. His practice aims to explore empirical knowledge production, questioning the limits of rational language and exploring archetypes in daily customs. Sihan’s work takes form in making, thinking, archiving, and conversing. In his class, students will participate in activities designed to strengthen the different sensations that make up the conscious and unconscious mind. During various different activities, participants will learn how to activate the senses through their eyes, ears, noses, tongues, limbs, torso, and mind. This will help them develop alternative ways of feeling the temporality and speciality of the world around us.

  • Sabrina Shah (b. 1986, Worcester) graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in painting in 2022 after completing her fine art studies at the University of Brighton and the Royal Drawing School. Shah is an expressionistic painter known for her energetic works which never fail to challenge and inspire. Shah populates her paintings with groups of animal-faced anthropomorphic figures who don’t quite fit; they are engaged in the process of looking at those who are looking at them. Their presence and creation offer an acute commentary on our tolerance of mistakes in society.Exaggerated techniques; heavy layers, intense glossy liquids, expansive characters that seem to overflow from the canvas, themes of vulnerability and consumerism, expulsion, ingestion, and the theatre of the dinner table are recurring motifs in her work. She explores these concepts through scenes of cooking and eating, investigating how we indulge, digest and discharge shame, intolerance, struggle, and self-disclosure in modern life.

    Sabrina has featured in several solo and group shows including at South London Gallery, and Castlegate House Gallery. She has undertaken multiple artist residencies internationally. Sabrina won the inaugural Castlegate Prize in 2020 and The Heart of England Prize (2011), and was shortlisted for the John Moores prize in 2010. Her first solo opened at indigo+madder in March 2023. Recent exhibitions include Inside, a Two Temple Place & Thorp Stavri Exhibition, London 2023; Eve Liebe Gallery, Summer Show, 2022; Love Strata, Lychee One Gallery, London, 2021.
