Ruba Salameh is a Berlin-based visual artist with a B.A. and M.F.A. in Fine Arts from the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. Initially working across diverse mediums such as video, installation, and collage, Salameh has more recently dedicated herself to abstract painting, continuously refining her unique style over the past years. Her artistic practice employs techniques of erasure and over-layering to build complex, textured compositions. Influenced by Russian Constructivism, the Bauhaus movement, and the Dutch De Stijl, Salameh integrates these historical influences with her personal history, imbuing her work with a depth that invites viewers to engage with her pieces on a spatial and emotional level.

Salameh’s work has been featured in several notable exhibitions, including Cipher with Pouran Jinchi at Gazelli Art House in London (2024), Beyond Home: A Feminist Deconstruction at Kunstraum Kreuzberg Bethanien, Berlin (2023), and Tensegrity, a solo exhibition at Zawyeh Gallery, Dubai (2020).

Leonie Cameron (b.1997, Nottingham, UK) is an artist working and living in Margate, UK. Cameron’s work sits at the intersection of textile, craft and sculpture with a focus on hand textile processes and natural object collecting, the tactile aesthetic of which is positioned at the forefront of her practice. Through folklore and found object, she knits together works which aim to communicate themes of protection, queer ecologies and care. 

Cameron is interested in the intimacy between queer people and the natural world, and the way in which this can be used to reject perceptions of queerness being a modern or fallible idea, instead hailing it as an ancient and sacred thing. Her material focus centres around hand knit work, using textile to echo the softness and care she wishes to use to speak about queerness. Using these processes also allows her to resituate what is seen traditionally as ‘domestic craft’ within Fine Art spaces, using this as a tool to subvert the way that skilful craft work is viewed and appreciated.

Cameron graduated with a First-Class Honours BA in Sculpture from The University of Brighton in 2020, before undertaking her MA in Sculpture at The Royal College of Art from 2021 – 2023.  She is a beneficiary of the 'Gilbert Bayes RCA Sculpture Award 2023' and a finalist in the 2024 ‘Ingram Prize’.

Yadichinma Ukoha-Kalu (b.1995) is a multidisciplinary artist and illustrator based in Lagos. Her artistic practice centers around the exploration of line, form, space, and boundaries, expressed through a diverse range of media. Yadichinma consistently crafts multi-dimensional environments that blend abstract elements, textures, and materials to create engaging interactions.

Her fascination with materials propels her to deepen her understanding of the objects in her surroundings. She holds the belief that each object possesses its own unique world and system. This perspective is particularly pronounced in the realm of artifacts, where archival systems are generated through craft practices rooted in outdated cultures, particularly within the African context.

Yadichinma's work aims to bridge the gap between traditional methodologies and contemporary practices. By intertwining these elements, she seeks to explore the rich tapestry of cultural heritage and foster a dialogue that extends beyond temporal boundaries.

Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, London based Remi Ajani’s (b. 1984) practice deals with colour and gesture and is connected to emotionality and empathy as it investigates the artist’s relationship to the world in relation to perception, connection and disconnection. Inspired by her interest in phenomenology, Ajani aims to create paintings, which allow the viewer to connect with an emotional space. She uses found imagery as a starting point to explore how emotions can be communicated through a dialogue of the body.

Ajani graduated with distinction from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2022 where she was awarded the Almacantar Studio award for her degree show. She has recently exhibited with Sid Motion, Barbara Thumm and Marlboro Gallery.
