Lubaina Himid is an artist and curator. Initially trained in theatre design, Himid is known for her innovative approaches that bridge painting and social engagement.

Christine Eyene is an art historian, critic and curator. Her areas of research and curatorial practice encompass contemporary African and Diaspora arts, feminism, photography and non-object-based art practices, notably sound art.

Ain Bailey is a composer, artist and DJ. Her practice includes the facilitation of workshops considering the role of sound and memory, and she recently had a solo exhibition at Wysing Arts Centre, as well a commission for the 2021 Serpentine Pavilion.

Magda Stawarska-Beavan is a multi-disciplinary artist working predominantly with sound, moving image and print. Her work examines the layering of a city’s unresolved present upon its past and the narratives that unfold within it.

Emeka Ogboh connects to places with his senses of hearing and taste. He explores how private, public, collective memories and histories are translated, transformed and encoded into sound and food.
