Larry Achiampong's projects employ film; still imagery; aural and visual archives; live performance; objects; sound and game design to explore ideas surrounding class, gender, cross-cultural and digital identity.

With works that examine his communal and personal heritage – in particular, the intersection between popular culture and the residues of colonisation, Achiampong crate-digs the vaults of history. These investigations examine constructions of ‘the self’ through the activity of splicing the audible and visual materials of personal and interpersonal archives, offering multiple perspectives that reveal the deeply entrenched inequalities in contemporary society.

Lauren Godfrey (b. UK) is an artist based in London.
Her work invites interaction and collaboration, often swerving close to furniture or the quasi-useful.
In recent work, fountains and sundials – elemental clichés – meet post-modern silhouettes and pattern overload. There’s a suggested functionality and a whisper of a potential state shift, collaborating with surrounding elements and viewers alike.
The work offers space to the viewer whether it be to take a meditative moment in the company of trickling water or an invitation to interact and respond.

Andy Holden’s work comprises of large installations, sculpture, painting, music, performance, animation, curating and multi-screen-videos. His work is often defined by very personal starting points used to arrive at more abstract philosophical questions. 

As a teenager Holden wrote a manifesto for art titled, “Maximum Irony! Maximum Sincerity”, which can be seen to inform much of his subsequent work, and was the subject of a major exhibition at Zabludowicz Collection and Spike Island in 2013/4. For his first major exhibition ‘Art Now: Andy Holden’ at TATE Britain (2010), he exhibited Pyramid Piece, a vastly enlarged replica of a piece of stone he stole from the Great Pyramid at Giza as a boy, and due to increasing guilt, later returned. From 2011-2016 Holden worked on Laws of Motion in a Cartoon Landscape, a hour-long animated film which explored the idea that the world was now best understood as a cartoon. First shown at Glasgow International before touring to museums worldwide including 2017 Venice Biennale, the artist appeared in the film as a cartoon version of himself, interacting with a vast archive of clips from animation history to create a theory that the world was now best understood as a cartoon. The film was the subject of a solo exhibition at Perimeter, London in 2024. 

Lucy Joyce (born in London) asks the viewer to look and then look again at their surroundings, reimagining and questioning what is possible through drawing, sculpture, actions and gestures often in public space. Drawing is an integral part of her work and where everything begins. Recent solo exhibitions include: The Black Dot, 2023, A Drawing for a Building, 2021 and Proposals + Props, 2017 at Somers Gallery, London;  Electric Blue at E-Werk Luckenwalde, Germany, 2019-20. In 2018 she was commissioned by Tate St Ives to make her site specific art work: I Becomes You, Becomes We, Becomes Us, involving over 200 local people on the coastline alongside a performance. Lucy has previously developed a series of public art commissions in towns around the UK and is currently developing a new work as a recipient of a 2020-21 Arts Council Project Grant and A-N Bursary Grant.

Katie Schwab works with textiles, furniture and moving image within a practice that spans exhibition making, workshops community projects and design commissions. She is interested in underrepresented histories of domestic and civic design and interweaves personal, social and craft-based histories, often drawing from marginalised and overlooked traditions of living, making and working collectively. Working frequently in collaborative and context-responsive ways, Schwab’s projects typically grow through extensive archival research and corresponding active learning within the spheres of craft production. Influenced by design-based thinking and socially engaged practices, her projects make visible their material compositions and modes of production, foregrounding the people and processes involved in shaping new bodies of work.
