Jo Addison
In her studio practice Jo makes objects in which a familiar world is disclosed through the reinterpretation of everyday objects and motifs. Her work draws on individual and shared cultural memories, evoking an intuitive recognition of familiar things, loosened from their bearings in everyday life. In her collaborations with others through writing, curation and performance she seeks alternatives to inequitable approaches in art education. Jo is Head of the Department of Fine Art at Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London.

Mona Campbell
Campbell attempts to use satirical word play within the context of spoken word poetry and film to question the idea of authenticity of culture and race as a way to add humour to uncomfortable situations, whilst also trying to destabilize her own identity by using her own emotions to exert points of spontaneity from these objects which serves as a form of catharsis.

JJ Chan
Working across and amidst sculpture, moving image, and writing, JJ’s work draws from lived experience and stories stolen from eavesdropped conversations, to explore the edges of realities in constructing identity. Through storytelling and world-building, this work (re)searches for an alternative space beyond aggressively progressive capitalist time, seeking new worlds from the ashes of the present.

Tara White
Tara’s work sits amongst a collection of found, fabricated and family objects that narrate relationships to grief, migration and colonialism. The works often consider a sense of urgency and fear. Furniture and heirlooms are used as talismans of memory, that in many cases no longer exist or were left behind.

Alice Gale-Feeny
Alice Gale-Feeny is an artist who makes performance, via dance, video, writing and facilitation. She uses scripts, objects and sites as ‘containers’ for improvisational processes, considering how language, material forms and bodies (re)construct realities and build fictions. Alice is interested in the emergent possibilities of working with bodies in artworks. Particularly, the ‘accumulation’ of lived experience, and how this may ‘recalibrate’ over time in different contexts, alongside changing bodies and voices. She devises frameworks with the people she works with, often co-writing scripts, and using such texts to guide aesthetic decisions. Alice is a Lecturer in Ba Fine Art at Kingston University.

Francesca Telling
Francesca is a 2021 graduate from the BA fine art course at Goldsmiths University, and is currently a resident with Conditions Studio Programme. Her practice extracts familiar objects and iconographies to be viewed through the lens of the artefact or heirloom, in order to investigate their relationships to gestures of heritage, assimilation and rituals in the non-spectacular sense. Working in the spaces between sculpture, analogue photography and writing, she constructs speculative anthropological studies of personal family histories, alongside their wider political, cultural and mythological contexts.
