Aziza KADYRI Based in London, Uzbek visual artist Aziza Kadyri works across textiles, installation, performance, sculpture and creative technologies. She co-founded Qizlar, a grassroots collective rooted in intersectionality and social change. Kadyri examines themes of social invisibility, displacement, decolonisation and identity formation, particularly for Central Asian women.

WATANABE Shiori Born in Tokyo in 1984, Watanabe Shiori grounds her practice in close observation of extinction, protection and exclusion among species, the nation state as an ecosystemic community, and the relations between humans and nature embedded in folk customs and ritual practices. Her representative installation sans room links water tanks cultivating plants, fish and bacteria collected from the Japanese Imperial Palace – an early playground for the artist – to form an artificial, circulating ecosystem. Watanabe received her BFA […]

Her research seeks to explore alternative perspectives and anticipations of one’s body in society. Chan received a BFA […]

As the members meet with farmers, divers, scholars and others, ikkibawiKrrr engages with plants, natural phenomena, human beings and ecology through lived practices […]
