Ashleigh Bowmott



Ashleigh Bowmott is an Arts Producer and Facilitator. Her interdisciplinary and socially-driven practice positions art as a catalyst for connection and perspective exchange. She creates artworks, curates events and situations, produces the artworks of others, and facilitates workshops and educational networks. Each of these practices inform and blur into the others, all acting as drivers for seeking alternative pedagogies and methods for increased collaboration between people and the world we inhabit. Bowmott is also a member of Tracing the Pathway collective who explore body, site and encounter as forms of knowledge production and exchange.


Alice Browne



Alice Browne’s practice draws on ideological conflicts and cross-disciplinary visual cues picked up during periods of research and travel as well as observations of her own environment. A labyrinthine journey of thought results in a playful making process that is similarly allowed to wander. Passing themes and symbols combine with an enduring interest in epic stories (such as the history of painting), and the desire of humans to elicit control over our futures. Realised over a period of time without a planned outcome, her works are able to reflect the physical location of their production and/or exhibition as well as employing thoughts and influences gained over the time of their creation.


Ibiye Camp



Ibiye Camp is an artist from Elephant and Castle, her artwork has been influenced by the structure of the brutalist Heygate Estate, the colourful mosaic murals in the underpasses, and East Street Market. Camp’s interests come from exploring my identity, landscape and popular culture, specialising in cross disciplinary methods by painting and designing clothes, creating installations in urban spaces.

Her work has recently been shown at Jerwood Visual Arts Space in London, CGK Gallery in Copenhagen, and Dolph Projects, Tintype Gallery, and Edel Assanti Gallery in London. Graduating from Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, University of Oxford in 2007, and just completed the Skowhegan Residency 2018, Emma Cousin is based in London.

Caroline Devine’s work investigates the boundaries between sound and music, encompassing electroacoustic composition, sound installation, radio and theatre.
