Joshua Evans-Hooper is a London-based artist and theatre designer whose practice explores the thresholds between memory, imagination and reality. Evans-Hooper’s paintings often depict everyday scenes dissolving into fluid forms. Beyond lived experience, Evans-Hooper draws inspiration from fairytales, folklore, science fiction and anime. Each work evolves through a process of adding and erasing. Chic explores the liminal space between inner worlds where dreams, memory and imagination converge. Joshua Evans-Hooper paints domestic settings that dissolve into fluid environments, as if everyday life had become permeable and the universe were seeping through. Ghostly, luminous forms appear as presences both there and not there, spectres of thought, memory or other dimensions. joshuahoooper Joshua Evans-Hooper
Juanjo Barreda is a Spanish visual artist based in Milan whose practice spans painting, sculpture, design and performance. Barreda experiments with abstraction, portraiture and installation, often incorporating textiles to explore perception, absence and the limits of visibility. Through these shifting forms, Barreda’s practice seeks new languages of visibility, using experimental approaches to reimagine how art relates to technology, space and perception. Sphaera Nigra is a modular 3D-printed sculpture painted in ultra-black and set within a vertical black enclosure. Most of the time the work is scarcely perceptible, its surface absorbing nearly all light and leaving only faint fragments visible. In an image-saturated culture, it proposes a counter-experience: an encounter with what cannot be fully seen. This denial of clarity transforms minimal black geometry into an ominous presence, shifting audience response from frustration to unease to attraction.

Juan Yin is a jewellery artist whose practice expands traditional Miao silversmithing into contemporary art. Working with ancestral techniques, Yin creates wearable objects that embody memory, loss and transformation. Through participatory craft and material storytelling, Yin redefines ornament as a performative site of resistance and cultural voice, seeking to sustain endangered craftsmanship while positioning overlooked cultures as evolving, living agents within contemporary discourse. Memory Worn on the Spine is a series of three handcrafted pure silver rings that reinterpret traditional Miao filigree as contemporary body ornaments. Each piece carries symbolic pendants of fish, trumpet and sunflower, echoing blessings of love, joy and continuity across generations. The series combines vernacular craft with architectural and cultural codes, weaving memory, identity and ritual into forms worn on the body.
Joyce Treasure is a London-based multidisciplinary artist and independent researcher whose practice spans performance, sound, painting, video, costume, writing and installation. Treasure combines traditional and contemporary cosmologies with Black feminist theory, using assemblages of objects, gesture and memory to create allegories of lived experience. Poiesis of Memory transmutes psychic energy into language, sound, and embodied presence. It restructures the gaze so that it no longer centres whiteness but exposes its weaponisation in cultural and institutional spaces. Poiesis of Memory reclaims it as vital energy, subverting the language of victimhood to affirm the right to name, to grieve and to refuse.
