Orla Forrest
Orlanda Forrest is a multidisciplinary artist from Devon whose practice spans film, sculpture and performance. Her recent work explores the ghosts of Britain’s past. Drawing on site specific myths, folklore and anecdote, a central question to her work is who or what haunts England today. These narratives inspire the characters and protagonists in her films, sculptures and occasional puppets, which blend found stories with invented mythologies. Shooting and processing Double-8 and Super-8 film has become central to her exploration of the eerie. Forrest uses the unpredictable and ghostly outcomes of developing film to echo the unruliness of the English landscape. With a background in performance, having worked both solo and collaboratively across the UK, Forrest brings a subtle theatricality to all the mediums she works with. Through this performative lens, she creates a sense of the uncanny in everyday objects and landscapes, inviting audiences to experience the haunted otherworld that lies beneath the soil.

Jayson Fowler
Bug’s (they/it) practice is rooted in queerness, cripness and ecologies of care. It works and plays across myriad mediums, exploring its own exhausted, deviant, monstrous body – hoping to seed some sort of comfort in yours. Uninterested in what they can imagine by themselves, their work is an experiment in worldbuilding done in collaboration. Drawing deeply from their environment, Bug’s practice begins and ends with stories. They draw tentative webs of connection: the queer, the monster, the creature, the fairytale cripple and fae, the dead body, the bog body and the process of fermentation. Bug scrabbles in the dirt, trying to unearth for you(/itself) the joys and pains of living in a transqueercrip body. It hopes to destabilise its own humanity, and in doing so make you question yours.

Adriana Gallo
Adriana Gallo (b. 1993 Milan, Italy) is an artist, theorist and culinary practitioner based in New York. Through installation, text, workshops, lectures and meals, Gallo attends to convivial concerns of metabolism, ecology and labour. She employs a convivial dialectics and praxis to question the production of both intimate and global scales of metabolic relations and the interpenetration of metabolic flows. In the reproduction and representation of metabolic exchanges and their constitutive relations, Gallo examines the transformation of the sensuous world, the role of labour and speculative circulation of value. In material, relational and written forms she models the re-drawing of society along convivial lines, identifying infrastructures and systems of material and social (re)production. She has exhibited and cooked internationally and writes for various publications on topics including food, labour and theory. Gallo also holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, 2015.

Megan Willow Hack is an artist, painter and workshop facilitator based between London and Brighton. Through her painterly practice she interrogates our intimate relations to the non-human, atmospheric and toxic worlds around us. Her current research is on the airs of East London where she grew up, extracting particulate matter to make pigment, alongside urban tree and plant dyes which also absorb the cities toxicity. She is exploring how to bring our interrelations with the global-breathing-body into sense at a time when atmospheric pollution is the biggest environmental hazard to health worldwide.
Megan Willow Hack has exhibited works and facilitated foraged pigment workshops across Europe, including the Crafts Council and the Omved Gardens in London, Phoenix Arts Space in Brighton, and at the Scottish X British pavilion at the Venice Biennale in Venice, Italy. She is currently the Junior Fellow for Art Research at Goldsmiths and prior to joining the MA Art & Ecology program she held a residency in Phoenix Arts Space, Brighton as awarded by Cass Art.

Sohyun Kim
Sohyun Kim (b. in South Korea) is an artist based between Seoul and London, whose sculptural practice centres on the vibrancy and shifting physical states of exhausted bodies within urban environments. Working with materials such as fallen trees, worn human-made objects and other displaced matter, she treats these bodies – lying, bent or functionless – as active presences that continue to act through weight, tension and subtle material shifts. Her work develops through direct, tactile engagement: peeling, grounding and supporting materials to allow their internal movements and altered axes to guide the emerging form. In her ongoing project sorry, tree, she examines the fallen tree as a vital yet exhausted body that reconfigures balance and reshapes the conditions of its surroundings. Across her installations, she explores how bodies that have slipped out of function generate new spatial and sensory fields, complicating boundaries between stability and collapse, care and loss, attention and fatigue. Sohyun previously held a residency in Oxford before completing her MA Art & Ecology at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Kali Kulukundis
Kalika Kulukundis is an environmentally engaged artist and maker currently based between London and Dorset. Predominantly working through sculpture, she uses foraged, crude materials and makeshift techniques to make work that speaks to a politics of smallness and simplicity. Kali has an interest and appreciation for craft, and focuses on process as well as on a wider theme of materiality. Her materials and the stories that surround them tend to become the work itself. Her sculptures often appear at a low level and on a tiny scale, taking the form of curious and playful creatures and figures. In her most recent work she has used unstable materials, such as unfired clay, to create ephemeral sculptures that disintegrate back into the earth at the end of their lives. This work explores themes of spirituality, grief and loss as well as raising questions about ownership and commodification in the art world.

Renata Minoldo
Renata Minoldo (Rosario, Argentina) is an artist, botanical dyer and facilitator based in London. Exploring interspecies intimacies, affect and desire, she builds temporary spaces for collective gestures of care and sensorial objects to access meditative experiences. Informed by posthuman feminist phenomenology, her work weaves more-than-verbal ways of communication with embodied knowledge, intuitive learning and vibrational ecologies through textile slow crafts, social engagement and an expanded sculpture practice.
Her work has been awarded with full scholarships and international residencies, including Banff Centre of the Arts in Canada and Camden Art Centre in London, where she also developed a series of family learning resources for the wider public. Thanks to a British Council Grant, in early 2025 she travelled to the Philippines where she co-directed Growing a Field, a project that explored making and keeping urban dye gardens and accessible botanical dyeing methods in Manila and Puerto Princesa, working with local communities of all ages and culminating in a free workshop lecture at the University of Manila and a printed publication. In the UK, she has recently been commissioned to design environments and deliver participatory experiences with young people at South London Gallery, V&A East, Southbank Centre and Freelands Foundation. She is a proud member of the 2018 alternative educational programme School of the Damned, a self-organised art school with cohorts across the UK and beyond.

@renrrnren
Jooyeong Moon is a London-based Korean artist, researcher and cultural planner whose practice spans video, installation, photography, sound and poetic writing. Her work explores the ecological, biological and philosophical dimensions of extinction, tracing how memory, trauma and transformation shape shifting thresholds between human and more-than-human worlds. Engaging with materials and sites such as salt, islands, tides and arid terrains, she investigates how bodies, languages and technologies dissolve and reconfigure boundaries within contemporary ecological conditions.
Moon’s research-driven practice combines fieldwork, interviews and material gathering with metaphorical and experimental storytelling. Drawing from biological inquiry, ecological theory and multilingual sensibilities, she weaves scientific attention with poetic speculation, allowing her works to unfold as layered narrative environments shaped by dreams, unconscious states and sensory memory.
Trained in animal science and in art and culture planning, Moon’s earlier research examined how humans and ecosystems evolve in the age of science and technology and the potential role of art within these shifting conditions. For about seven years, she has collaborated on various projects as a planner and researcher, engaging with themes of contemporary technology and environmental issues. Her work has been presented in group exhibitions in London, where she continues to expand her artistic practice.

Grace O’Leary
Grace O’Leary is an Irish artist working in collaboration with photographic processes, urban environments and mostly found and reclaimed objects that these places offer. Through an adventurous and rebellious exploration of urban spheres Grace forges a kinship with feral sites and wastelands of colonial and capitalist ruin. Working in tandem with alternative photographic mediums she explores these sites as places of abundant magic and possibility, with close attention to the mythic, sacred and cosmic happenings that occur in otherwise neglected sites. Captivated by the liminality of the darkroom, Grace’s image making practice moves between analogue and digital, darkness and light, negative and positive, revelling in the unheralded potential of the in-between worlds that linger in modern ruins.
Grace has received funding from The Irish Arts Council resulting in residencies in Dublin and Japan, where she has exhibited and hosted workshops. Grace holds a BFA from The National College of Art and Design, Dublin, 2020.

Fajrina Razak
Fajrina Razak (b.1989, Singapore) is an artist, cultural-curatorial worker and researcher. Her work uses traditional materials and contemporary methods as conduits for the archival of knowledge, forming inquiries on historical references and colonial ethnography related to Nusantara and Southeast Asia. Her current research observes sustained Austronesian ethnoecology practices as ways for re-indigenizing, decoloniality and remediation with the natural world amidst hyper development.
She is the founder of a residency programme 405 Art Residency. Her works are in the permanent collection of the Singapore Art Museum and private collections. She was the President of Angkatan Pelukis Aneka Daya (APAD, Association of Artists of Various Resources) in the term 2020-22.

Shama Sahzayasin
Amanda Simon (b.1976 Dorset, UK) is an artist and astrologer who works across multiple sites and with the living sky in the UK and New Mexico, creating fields of implicit and explicit flows of connection, conversation and inter-being. Rather than being medium specific, Amanda is interested in responding to the living energy, presence and intelligence of site, in all its multiplicity – mineral, animal, physical and energetic. She explores ways and processes through which these presences can be enhanced, amplified and activated. Throughout her work the preoccupation is to create living fields of encounter through which participants are acted upon, sensitives are heightened and subtle sense perception refined.
Amanda considers both art and astrology as practices that constellate the heart-mind-body matrix ecologically - a sensorium that is responsive and receptive to touch and touching in ways that are a necessary response to late capitalism. Her work has emerged from a felt conversation with place, including Berlin, Portugal, London, Dartmoor, Dulwich train station, Goldsmiths Campus, Sante Fe New Mexico. She considers these works to have an ongoing liveliness, remaining in a quiet but none the less constant conversation feeding the larger field of collective consciousness.

Alejandro Reiriz Pouseu
Alejandro Reiriz Pouseu (b.2002, Galicia, Spain) is an eco-artist, storyteller and researcher from Bueu, currently based in London. His practice explores island ecologies, submerged histories, and the poetics and politics of smallness. Through archiving, research and installations, he works with myths, ruins and landscapes marked by extractivism. He is also interested in islands as spaces where memory, nostalgia, matter and knowledge collide. Family stories, local legends and forgotten trails shape much of his material and conceptual approach. Alejandro explores how folklore and these hidden geographies offer alternative cartographies and ways of thinking and knowing. His practice reflects critically on the ethics of gathering, collecting and sharing, and how these acts shape culture, mapping and identity.

Yasmin Smith
Yasmin Smith (b. 1984, Dharug Country/Sydney, Australia) works with ceramics and glaze technologies, producing large-scale sculptural installations that investigate particular sites via extensive field research, community collaboration and studio development. Her practice brings scientific and artistic concerns together to allow ecological forms of intelligence to be expressed through aesthetic outcomes. Smith’s expanded material investigations involve an ongoing conceptual interrogation of labour, extractivism, coloniality and political ecology. Smith’s queer identity and (maternal) Sri Lankan heritage underpin her projects, in particular around questions of structural marginalisation of specific experiences and economies. Exhibitions include the Aichi Triennale 2025, Lagos Biennial 2024, the 10th Asia Pacific Triennial (2021), Rethinking Nature (2021, Museo Madre, Naples), Sustaining Assembly (2021, Parco Arte Vivente, Turin), Cosmopolis #2: rethinking the human (2019, Centre Pompidou, Paris), Cosmopolis #1.5: enlarged intelligence (2018, Chengdu) and the 21st Biennale of Sydney (2018).
Yasmin Smith was awarded the 2024 Anne & Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship, supporting her work within the MA Art & Ecology programme at Goldsmiths. Her survey exhibition, Yasmin Smith: Elemental Life, opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in 2025.

Lili Süper
Lili Süper is a multimedia artist and performance-maker whose work unfolds between Hamburg and London. Engaging with speculative fiction, her practice explores the effects of digitality, climate transformations and contemporary modes of preservation, probing how these forces reshape embodied experience. Working across performance, installation, video and writing, Süper constructs spaces in which bodies (human, synthetic and planetary) interact, dissolve and recombine.
Süper’s artistic language emerges from her background in theatre and her ongoing research into puppetry, silicone casting and technological modes of image-making. Her performances often place her own body in relation to its replicas, treating the self as material. Performances might unfold in hotel rooms or theatres, in public spaces, commercial galleries, forests or airplanes. Collaboration forms a key foundation of her work, especially through f.e.t.t. kollektiv e.V., the interdisciplinary performance group she co-founded in 2018, which explores immersive forms and digital storytelling cultures.
Süper studied Fine Arts at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (HFBK) and a postgraduate program in Art & Ecology at Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work has been supported by numerous awards and scholarships, among them the DAAD, the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, and the HISCOX Art Prize. Invited Residencies and Exhibitions in Mexico, Guinea-Bissau, Korea and Italy have expanded her research into transcontinental ecological and cultural exchange.

Delphine Tomes
Delphine Tomes is a multidisciplinary artist and translator committed to the streets, bridging the cosmic, the ritualistic, the mundane and the ecological. Her practice encompasses diverse media, from editorial projects and social practice to botanical print-making and photography.
In the face of rising free-market totalitarian data extractivism and techno-rational dominance, Tomes turns to alternative forms of knowledge and practice, such as anachronistic language systems, tree communication and the divination of signs, to conjure alternatives to the linear gridwork of electronic capital. Her work is an urban treasure hunt, gleaning the pavements and the trees for invisible affinities, and reading the signs as a map of enchantment. What wisdom is being spoken in the cracks?
Tomes is co-founder of the street magazine Mi Valedor in Mexico City, sister paper to the UK’s The Big Issue. She was a member of the 2022-24 generation of the alternative art school School of the Damned, participating from French Guiana, where she was researching themes of space colonialism. She is currently based in London.

Ella Yolande
Ella Yolande is a visual artist working across video, sculpture and textiles. Through video installations and plant infused therapeutic garments, her research touches on colonial botanical histories, methods of resilience and artistic fieldwork practices. Tangled in thoughts of the vegetal and multi-species bodies, her practice is informed by queer ecologies and thinking with the more-than-human. Her current work explores methods of speculative science and fieldworking to think with the figure of the lichen and specific sites on Dartmoor. Through considering the history and medicinal properties of plants, along with the need for mutual flourishing and rethinking the human body as individual, she explores how ecological sensitivities might be woven from living histories, infrastructures and sign givers.
Ella is currently based in London and is the Junior Fellow for the MA Art & Ecology at Goldsmiths. She has exhibited internationally including at venues including: Lewisham Arthouse, London; Nunhead Cemetery Chapel, London; Pilot Ima, Riga; Mega Art Fair, Milan; Skaftfell, Seyðisfjörður; Melkweg Expo, Amsterdam; Od Arts Festival, Somerset; with screenings including Coventry Biennial 2024, Videoity’s Utopia Today 2024 and Fiber Festival 2021.
