Mercy Duddy is a London-based artist raised in an Irish and Cypriot immigrant household. Duddy’s work explores the immigrant experience, cultural assimilation, and the tensions between outward appearance and internal history. Duddy investigates the navigational pull of obedience and the complexities of identity within her family narrative. Party Coloured Pictures forms part of a series based on an archive of photographs taken by Mercy Duddy’s father between the mid and late 20th century. Inspired by childhood paint-by-numbers kits from suburban London in the 1970s, the process reinterprets this system using marker pens. Personal photographs are transformed through systematic and impersonal methods, where rules and repetition fracture nostalgia into new reflections on memory and making.

Miguel Ripoll is an artist and designer whose practice explores human–machine dialogue through linguistics, code and algorithmic systems. His work investigates how technological frameworks shape culture, using experimentation with language and systems to question authorship, creativity and the evolving relationship between humans and machines. Part of an ongoing series of large-scale, post-figurative digital collages, Grand Tour—082 combines hand drawing with algorithmic processes. Inspired by the complex and problematic legacy of 18th- and 19th-century elite travel, the work reflects on contemporary concerns including postcolonialism, cultural appropriation, over-tourism, overconsumption, environmental degradation, mass migration and the idea of ‘the other’.
Miguel Pedroza is a visual artist whose practice centres on sculpture. Strongly influenced by poetry and philosophy, Pedroza draws on a wide range of disciplines to shape his work. His sculptural practice becomes a site for exploring spiritual thought and material form, seeking to bridge poetic reflection with physical presence. In 2023, Miguel Pedroza joined a group intervention in the recently vacated Tizayuca district prison in Hidalgo, Mexico, once one of the most overcrowded and violent in the country. Pedroza found a blue wooden block, used as a prisoner’s pillow, on a cement bed resembling a morgue table. The sculptural gesture placed a razor blade on this pillow, its movement animated by the faint sway of a magnet suspended from the ceiling.
Mia Iggulden is a London-based artist whose paintings investigate memory, transformation and the traces of lived experience through the human body. Working with distortion and imaginative figuration, Iggulden explores how emotional and physical imprints reshape identity over time. Her fantastical figures emerge from childhood sensory fragments such as textures, patterns, and atmospheres, recasting memory as a visual language. In childhood, everything shone brighter not as it was, but as it is remembered. She searches for the brightness of a world that once felt new.
