Joanna Holland is a socially engaged research-artist and curator with a background in creative production.
Joanna is a multidisciplinary artist, and her artworks are heavily influenced by sensory processes. For example, works have explored noises ordinarily unheard, changes to colour perception, and tactile & olfactory investigations of gallery collections. As a result, she uses many different mediums in her work including, but not limited to sound, visual arts, organic materials, food, performance, photography and video.
Li Yilei is a Chinese, London-based multidisciplinary artist, composer, and sound artist known for their work in performance, text, sculpture, and installation, often exploring themes of non-hierarchical listening, the muted state, and neurodivergent experience through abstract sound and visual languages. With a background in fine art and sound art and a foundation in classical violin, Li's work incorporates found objects, broken instruments, and Eastern ideologies to reflect on existential occurrences and power dynamics. As a person on the autistic spectrum, Li's sensory processing issues deeply inform their creative process, leading to a unique approach to alternative modes of listening and expression

Spawned from many years of private improvisation and close friendship, their sound is a constantly shifting thing - from violent spasms of ecstatic noise, to wide and shivering ambiences, to interlocking grids of elastic rhythms.

Strandbeest (Theo Jansen, Zach Jansen) | Web | Insta
Theo Jansen, a Dutch artist, sculptor, and engineer, was born Mar. 14, 1948, in Scheveningen, in the Netherlands. Since 1990, Jansen has been fashioning lumbering creatures, made mostly of ordinary PVC pipe, that wander up and down the nearby beaches of the North Sea, driven by the wind. He calls his creations strandbeesten – beach animals. Theo Jansen’s son, Zach will be leading a Strandbeest building workshop with participants before promenading the beest on the beach. Accompanying the visit are films by Maud van den Beuken.
Produced in collaboration with Freshly Greated.
