Rick Findler's work focusses on features and stories both here in The UK and abroad. His photographic project focuses on the indigenous Native Americans, the threats to their culture and their ever-diminishing presence in today's society. It will showcase their colourful traditions such as Aztec dancers, inter-tribal ceremonies and skills passed down through generations whilst also touching on the existential risk to their heritage in the modern world.

Myah Asha Jeffers is a London-born, Barbados-raised, award winning artist whose practice spans photography, theatre and film. Her work focuses on witnessing and documenting the nuances of daily life within diasporic communities. With her practice exploring 'Black Interiority’, Jeffers closely examines themes such as class, cultural identity, queerness, grief, gesture, and truth.

Myah’s photographic work is majority analogue based. She often develops her own black and white negatives and makes hand prints in her local darkroom.
