Monika Galantai is a self-taught artist dedicated to creating space for others through art that fosters reconnection with the self, with others and with nature. Galantai’s artistic journey is an exploration of the present moment, using drawing, screen printing, and painting as tools for grounding and reflection. Each work is part of a continuous process of discovery and introspection, offering viewers an invitation to pause, reflect, and uncover their own truth. Taming Butterflies began with the thought of creation and bending the notion of ‘what is’. The dancing shaman embodies complete presence and connection with everything, moving ecstatically and freely without expectation, agenda, or illusion about the external world. Through this ancient rhythm, she unknowingly yet knowingly bends presence itself, awakening the spirits of nature.
Myvanwy Gibson is an artist and researcher whose practice engages with philosophies of transformation, exploring how evolving human consciousness can address contemporary challenges. Gibson’s work is informed by life experiences across Asia, Australia and Europe, and by performances as a real-time video artist immersed in sound and light. Myvanwy Gibson’s practice moves between Computational Arts and Performance, aiming to bring poetic and philosophical writing to life through a digital persona called ‘Weaver’. Created using 3D sculpting, sound triggering, and AI-generated voice, Weaver can sing the lyrics Gibson writes. Weaver seeks to shape and extend the social fabric, moving beyond the warp and weft to imagine more consciously evolved worlds.
Nancy Singh is an artist whose practice spans photography, installation and film. Drawing on nostalgia, memory and lived experience, she reimagines moments shaped by shifting visibility and cultural displacement. Her work reflects on identity and belonging within complex cultural narratives. Remains is a film that addresses the racialised female body and the politics of visibility, productivity and restriction. Influenced by caste, class and disability, the film considers how the female body becomes a target of intervention and control. Nancy Singh collaborated with her aunt in Lucknow, India, who appears post-partum, embodying themes of racism, classification and objectification. The film depicts the trauma of miscarriage caused by inadequate medical care and its lasting psychological impact.
Nana Miyagi is a Japanese artist based in Glasgow whose practice has evolved towards intuitive and conceptual approaches. Working with Nihonga alongside oil, watercolour and pastel, Miyagi explores the philosophical and visual significance of marks left in the artistic process. Her work reflects on how these traces evoke memory, thought and presence beyond material permanence. Intimacy and Rejection explores the distance created by language barriers through panels of English and Japanese letters. Familiar characters may invite intimacy, while unfamiliar ones appear as abstract forms, evoking alienation. Similar feelings arise when encountering art in unfamiliar languages, where meaning remains inaccessible.
