Jul 3, 2022 Rebecca Moss Artist and activist

Rebecca is an artist based in Essex and East London. Rebecca is known for work that draws on a mixture of slapstick and deadpan comedy and the absurd. She is interested in how awkwardness can invite empathy, and how a fallible, open subject could suggest a resistant position against powerful systems. Her work responds to landscapes, including wild, rural and urban, from a feminist perspective. She is especially interested in how humorous interventions can speak to power. Rebecca has a BA in Painting from Camberwell College of Art and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art. She also has done a  Constellations programme, exploring the expanded field of public art, with UP Projects, Flat Time House and Liverpool Biennial * She has been nominated for a number of prestigious awards and commissions some of those include Thames Estuary Festival, commissioned psychogeographic walk by Metal Culture UK * 2021 - Nomination for The Arts Foundation Award for Visual Art * 2020 - Nomination to propose an artwork for The High Line Plinth, New York * 2019 - Nomination for Paul Hamlyn Award * 2019 - PEER Notices commissioned artist, PEER Gallery, Hoxton, London

Hoa Dung Clerget French-Vietnamese artist

Hoa Dung Clerget is a French Vietnamese artist with a multi disciplinary practise. Transforming every day objects into vessels of memory, meaning and emotion, her work reflects a different temporal experience. Having grown up in France in a Vietnamese family, Hoa Dung uses the family traditions embodied in domestic objects to construct her artistic language. It allows her to speak about cultural tensions that the diaspora encounters. Hoa Dung’s family’s unwritten history is passed down orally and through everyday objects. These domestic objects tell the stories of immigrant women who through their gestures build the link between two different cultures. Hoa Dung holds a BA Hons in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and an MA in Painting from the Royal college of art. She also holds an MSc from Ecole Centrale de Lyon (major Applied Mathematics).
