Taking trees as repositories of memory within the places and communities in which they grow, Olu cites wood as a marker of possible encounters: between past and present; between people and the spaces they inhabit. He is interested in the parallels that can be drawn between humans and trees, tracing the moment a tree is uprooted from one geographical setting and placed in another, where it might be transformed. This story – of the composite and accumulative nature of our identities– is inextricably linked to community, labour and the transaction of exchange.

Beyond a human perspective of linear time, trees have offered Olu a route to looking at questions of provenance and history that surpass current ideas around recolonising history and human one way narratives.                       
            
Forthcoming projects include the Royal Academy of Arts Degree Show, as well as exhibitions with Timothy Taylor, New York, the Museum Folkwang, Essen and the Halle Für Kunst Steiermark, Graz.

Olu obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Fine Art from the Royal Academy, London, in 2020 and a BA Hons in Fine Art Critical Practice from the University of Brighton in 2013.

Born in New York, 1989. Lives and works in Oxford.

Shawanda Corbett’s studio practice background is in ceramics (vessel making). The craft principles, fundamentals and discipline in ceramics are applied to other mediums, such as dance theatre production (live performance and film performance). This technique is called craft theory. Currently, she is researching how Artificial Intelligence can facilitate craft theory in her studio practice.

Corbett is currently pursuing her practice-led doctoral degree in Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art and Wadham College, University of Oxford. Her research redefines Donna Haraway's cyborg theory, or the cybernetic organism, as anything mechanical that enhances an individual's life. The research also focuses on the relationship between human beings and technology created with Artificial Intelligence. This is approached through the science fiction genre in film and literature but from a perspective of a differently abled-body (cyborg) woman of colour, so this includes texts, film (visual representation), music in African American history/African history and Artificial Intelligence history.

Her first solo exhibition, Neighbourhood Garden, was held at the Corvi-Mora Gallery in London (2020). She described the exhibit as a revisit of her family’s history as southern African Americans living between Mississippi and New York. The work challenged the history of African American tropes without reducing her subjects to their physical bodies by focusing on the individual’s personality, daily activity or place of residence.

Performances include "breathe." at the NOW Gallery, London, in 2020. “Blackbird in Mississippi”, for COS x Serpentine Park Nights at the Serpentine Galleries in 2019 and  “haar wese” presented at the University of Oxford.

Grewal’s work blends the language of Romanticism with his South Asian heritage to express autobiographical experiences. Themes of identity, love, loss, violence and adolescence are explored through a queer gaze, creating a dream-like reality based in nature.*  

“As I paint I place equal importance on the figure as I do the landscape. I try to treat both equally and as abstractly as possible, blurring the lines between where one ends and the other begins. I play within the figure and outside of the figure creating a dialogue between the two so they begin to merge. A sharing of atmosphere where one is penetrating the other. This can open up ambiguity within the work and motifs can be seen fluidly. In this sense imagination is crucial in creating and reading the work. A figure can be a tree and a tree can be a figure, they are one in the same. I remember being a child and this kind of thinking would come naturally. Imagination would allow reality to turn into something other almost instantaneously. I’m interested by a duplicity and plurality within the work.”

Recent group shows include Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2020, South London Gallery; Deity, Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh; Everyday is Sunday, UTA Artists Space, Beverly Hills and No Time Like The Present, Public Gallery, London.

Jake won both the Cass Art Award and Woon Foundation Prize Judge's Discretionary Award in 2016. In 2020 he participated in the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Drawing Marathon residency.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, 1993. Lives and works in Glasgow.

I currently think of my practice as a long-term exploration of self-mythologising as a survival tactic. My work explores the position of Other within our tangled reality, and speaks broadly and politically about foreignness, identity, survival and what it means to belong – or not. It finds form via drawing, sculpture, costume, props, video, animation, family collaboration, online content and performative actions in public. Increasingly, any or all of these elements coalesce as installations which form coherent, singular environments.

In 2021, exhibitions and artworks will include: a LUX Scotland moving image commission for the BBC; a commission for Dislocations at the Hunterian Gallery, University of Glasgow; Fabric of Society, a group show supported by Glasgow International; and a major solo show at Dundee Contemporary Arts.

Recent exhibitions and residencies include: Umay-may songuuU, a solo show at CFCCA, Manchester (2020); Talbot Rice Residents, a two-year residency supported by Talbot Rice Gallery, University of Edinburgh (2019-21); Summer Residency, Hospitalfield, Arbroath (2019); and Survey, Jerwood Arts, London (2018).

Rebecca Jagoe describes themself as a queer, crip, neurodiverse artist, and a non binary femme. Their work is a material memoir which examines how their own experiences of illness and gender, how their identity itself, is informed by specific Western cultural narratives.

Born in Donegal, Ireland, in 1992. Lives and works in Glasgow.

Renèe Helèna Browne uses strategies of deconstruction to ask, when considered in relation to trans history and memory, if ‘the document’, a stand-in for artefact, proof of origin and therefore traditional value, can be reconsidered. And what new forms of legacy, a system of status and authenticity, can be founded. They make work in order to expand this study through a feminist epistemological lens. 
 
They do this by exploring how gender is perceived via the prisms of fiction and embodied feeling. They are specifically interested in the biopolitical power of deviant bodies as alternative strategies to being in the world. Their practice manifests through long term research periods in the form of learning, talking, filming and writing, and is followed by the production of essay films, vocal soundscapes and angsty drawings.
 
Browne received their MFA from the Glasgow School of Art in 2019. They are 2021-2023 Talbot Rice Resident Artist with ECA at the University of Edinburgh and commissioned by the Project Arts Centre (Dublin) in 2021.
