Ellathea Jackson-Harris is a multidisciplinary artist based in London. Her practice is heavily facilitated by the critical selection of archival material and documentation from sites and occurrences of intrigue. She is interested in memory, memorabilia, movement and withdrawal; seeking to explore subjects’ capabilities to evoke varied responses through negotiating processes of visual association, compilation and reframing. Predominantly working across painting, drawing and sculpture, her practice uses varied materials and surfaces as modes of interrogating conditions of time-keeping. 

She graduated from Goldsmiths in 2023, and is currently studying for an MA in Fine Art at the Slade School. 

LaNia Sproles is a queer artist from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and currently based in Chicago, Illinois They received a BFA from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 2017. Their practice is interdisciplinary, often blending or fluctuating between print media, collage, drawing, painting, and curation. The philosophies of self-perception, queer and feminist theories, and inherent racial dogmas are essential to Sproles’s work. 

In the recent years Sproles has guest curated an exhibition hosted by NADA art fair with The Green Gallery exhibited several artworks with Elijah Wheat Showroom hosted by David Zwirner’s online exhibition space, Platform, and with Goldfinch Gallery and FLXST Contemporary in Chicago.

His practice revolves around exploring the cultural meanings embedded in found objects, which he repurposes into new, expressive approaches.

Noel’s appreciation for design, craftsmanship, and experimentation has led him to unique brand projects with Knoll, USM Modular Furniture, RIMOWA, Soho House, and Porsche, to name a few. Noel has shown work at Expo Chicago and Future Fair in New York, with more projects and showings in the upcoming year. 

Renoir Saulter is a multidisciplinary artist, exploring societal structures through the harmonisation of materials, objects,and language, gleaning references from memory and observation, delving into the fragile inner essence of fear and its close links to humour, growth and self understanding. He is forged from Northern steel, and influenced by Jamaican, Irish and English Heritage. He traverses vulnerability, mistake-making and is currently studying at Royal Academy Schools.

zakkiyyah najeebah dumas-o’neal (b. U.S., based in London) is a multidisciplinary artist who makes work to further understand how the specificity of her own lived experiences are connected to historical and contemporary movements that involve embodied knowledge production, in service to self-possession. She works across video montage, sound, performance, and photography, to reorient her relationship to memory, images, history, and poetics. Her work is positioned as poetic gesture and knowledge production, using disparate sources across these mediums, to move “somewhere between archive and continuum”, using her own 35mm and 120mm photographic archive and video footage, alongside historical and contemporary found photo images, field recordings, and appropriated sound. Informed by Black femme cosmopoetics, she works within a visual method and way of thinking that draws upon life experiences, emotional states of being, Black feminist thought and histories, the cosmos, poetic text, and fragmentation. The visual and the sonic compel her to trouble perceptions of Black femme beingness, and it’s right to opacity and complexity. zakkiyyah has been included in numerous group exhibitions and has had several solo exhibitions which include Arts and Public Life at University of Chicago and Washington University. Her work has been presented in various forms at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, NADA, Centre Pompidou, Rebuild Foundation, The Art Institute of Chicago, The August Wilson African American Cultural Center, Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago Humanities Festival, DePaul University, EXPO Chicago, and Harvard Graduate School of Design to name a few. She recently completed a MA in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins.
