"A Table in an Art Lesson"
Nicola Hepworth
London
A painting of students who agreed to be depicted in a an art lesson. My role as an art teacher in East London informed this painting. The flattened perspective creates an equality of scale which reflects the equal attention from a teacher required for each student. There is repetition and order, but each character is distinct. Their uniforms have been adorned with patterns inspired by electronics. This reflects the fact that these students have been born into a digital age, creating tension between the act of hand drawing and the world they live in.

"Decode"
Jenny Ping Lam Lin
Newcastle
Waste is not merely something discarded , it holds its own quiet beauty, its own worth. It appears, then vanishes, only to return in another form.
Through working with what is deemed unwanted, I began to question value itself. Rejection, failure, doubt ,all became part of the process. What makes something worthy? What makes it waste?
Garbage became my mirror. It can be anything that has been denied , an object, an idea, a person. By reclaiming and reshaping it, I discovered that transformation is possible. What disappears does not die; it simply waits to be seen again, differently.
This is not just about trash , it is about identity, renewal, and finding meaning in what the world chooses to throw away.

"Golden Bloom in Grey Vase"
Delia Zorzoliu
Southampton,UK
This original work from the Floriogenesis Collection captures the vibrant energy of golden-yellow blossoms contrasted against the solidity of a grey vase. The expressive brushstrokes and textured surface highlight the tension between fragility and strength, while the bold palette evokes vitality and renewal.
The interplay of muted and radiant tones transforms a simple still life into a symbolic reflection on resilience and beauty.

"I Want To Know What Love Is"
Alex Kyah
Geneva
I see you — with my heart.
You did nothing wrong.
You were just searching for love.
That kiss was euphoria.
Those arms, a lie you wanted to believe.
That night was a paradise.
That never lasts.
Morning comes. Cold and empty.
He left again. And again. And again.
You gave what you had.
You became who they wanted —
as you always have.
No one ever taught you differently.
No one ever showed you love.
But love is not meant to be ephemeral.
It’s meant to stay. To make you whole.
It starts from within.
From seeing yourself with love —
just as I see you now.
It grows through giving.
Like the sun offering its light.
Let your heart be your compass.
And save you from that malicious dream.

"Imagine Unbound"
Angel Bourne
Doncaster
A young girl, dressed in a princess gown, sits in her wheelchair with a book open across her lap. As she reads, the boundaries of her room dissolve and imagination takes hold: oversized mushrooms emerge around her, towering gently as symbols of wonder and possibility. Beyond the window stretches a dark green, lush forest, with a warm yellow glow shimmering in the distance. This work celebrates diversity and the power of imagination, showing that every child, regardless of circumstance, holds within them entire worlds waiting to be unfolded.

"Lady and goal. Taste of smell"
Ekaterina Mendor
Liverpool, UK
“Taste of Smell” explores Slavic mythology and the cultural heritage of Russia’s Kursk region. Centered on a dialogue between a Bride in traditional costume and Baba Yaga, the work uses the Tree of Life, a raven, and the “Hut on Chicken Legs” to symbolize life, death, and the spiritual world.
By integrating Kursk embroidery, the piece shows how folk art preserves memory and identity. The exhibition celebrates regional Slavic culture within global diversity, emphasizing that preserving local traditions and archetypes like the Tree of Life fosters deeper intercultural understanding.

"Lost Youths"
Greg Williamson
Glossop
Lost youths. A haunting vision emerges: a group of hooded youths, ghost-like and shrouded in shadow, a chilling reflection of both the present and the ominous trajectory of British society. They are adrift, directionless, hollowed out by hopelessness. Their anger simmers beneath the surface, born from disillusionment with now, and dread of what lies ahead.
They self-medicate with an eerie blue fluid, seeping from their mouths, eyes, and noses, an unnatural hue echoed on their skin by the cold, relentless glow of screens. Technology bathes them, not in light, but in isolation. They are volatile and wounded, aggressive yet perilously fragile. Bound together, they remain profoundly alone.
Are they confronting you, or silently pleading for help?
At the edges, their forms begin to dissolve, becoming less human, more abstract. On the left, a ghoulish figure exhales a ghostly plume from a vape, mist curling like smoke from a dying fire. On the right, a skeletal youth stands exposed, ribs visible, an unmistakable sign of neglect, decay, and abandonment.
This painting was born from sketches made in 2020, in response to these very concerns. Now, years later, the question demands to be asked: has anything improved, or are we simply watching the decline in higher definition?

"Palm wine tapper"
Marcellinus Onyebuchi Okonkwo
Nigeria
Everyday on these wheels
He goes looking for wine from the palm
To settle major life fees
And keep the storm in his mother's mouth calm.
He is like a hard-working ant
Everyday he checks the trees
To see if he can get a full tank
Sometimes, friends from the wild, follow his footprint and tap the wine from the trees.

"Prima"
Katy Phillipps
Brighton/UK
Prima speaks to the many ways Black and plus-size bodies are told explicitly or otherwisethat they don't belong in creative spaces. Whether in ballet, theatre, visual art, or fashion, there is a persistent narrative about who gets to be seen as graceful, worthy, or lead material.
This work centres a proud, poised, plus-size Black woman. She commands the frame unbothered, barefoot, and beautifully out of step.
Prima reflects the experiences of countless Black and larger-bodied girls who grow up being told they are the wrong shape, the wrong size, the wrong presence,that they will never be the swan, never be the lead. This piece reclaims that space, placing her not just in the corps but firmly at centre stage, where she has always deserved to be.

"Silent Breath"
BEN KAY
England
SILENT BREATH captures the profound stillness of a moment steeped in struggle and defiance. The photograph, steeped in chiaroscuro, portrays the suffocating weight of injustice while evoking a poignant plea for change. The interplay of light and shadow mirrors the stark contrast between hope and despair, compelling the viewer to confront the silent agony and the enduring fight for breath. This image stands as a haunting testament to resilience, a visual echo of voices demanding to be heard.

"Spin Cycle Chaos"
Yuliia Tarnovska
Maidenhead/UK
A whirlwind of colour and movement, Spin Cycle Chaos captures the dizzying rhythm of everyday life caught in constant motion. The composition swirls with layered brushstrokes, echoing the relentless turning of a washing machine's spin cycle, an ordinary routine transformed into a metaphor for emotional turbulence and resilience. The painting invites viewers to feel both the chaos and the catharsis of surrendering to life's rotations, finding unexpected beauty in disorder.

"The Womb of Man"
Sarah Christie
Warminster
Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see."
— René Magritte
In this subversive homage to Magritte’s The Son of Man, the apple is replaced by a uterus—bold, unmissable, and confronting. Where Magritte obscured the face to suggest the unknowable nature of identity, this work asks: what is really being hidden in our societies? Who controls what we are allowed to see—or be?
The suited man, a symbol of order, power, and patriarchy, is not just veiled, but defined by the uterus. Here, reproductive rights become both the focal point and the mask—an unsettling reminder of how patriarchal forces claim ownership over female bodies while hiding behind tradition, law, and social norms.
This painting exposes what is often shrouded: that control over the uterus has never truly belonged to the one who bears it.

"Windrush whispers"
Terox
Newcastle upon Tyne
This piece is acrylic on canvas . It�s a tribute to my grandmother, she was part of the Windrush generation. I never got to meet her but my dad has fond memories of her. I�ve heard stories echoed through my family about her I felt compelled to offer my own .
My piece shows her arrival as a young girl from st kitts .
. She always complained of the cold in the U.K. so I�ve draped her in a warming coat .Her coat shaped as the bow of theboat to signify her arrival with the setting sun ,to greet her . Her expression conveys her arrival into the unknown I think she looks regal. I chose the colour palate to represent the passage of time , almost looking back to an old photograph

"Working Classness"
Karen Piddington
Brighton, UK
Working Classness presents a portrait of a person whose identity is ambiguous, resisting traditional categorisations of gender. The figure's mouth is covered by a hairnet, evoking a complex interplay of symbolism.
In this work, the hairnet takes on layered meanings. Commonly associated with practicality and hygiene in working-class environments, it also hints at modesty and utility, contrasting with the decorative styles of higher social classes. Placed across the mouth, however, the netting suggests deeper themes of restriction, silence, and the suppression of voice.
This piece reflects the fragility and resilience of identity in a time when diversity is under threat. It asks viewers to confront the boundaries placed on expression and communication while celebrating the nuances and richness of lives lived beyond simple categorisation.
By addressing themes of silence, identity, and class, Working Classness adds a voice to the exhibition�s call for unity, inclusion, and understanding.

'The Warrior'
I Tanvir
Berkshire
'The Warrior' imagines a world of Mughal maximalist design combined with English aesthetics. Taking direct inspiration from RCT's exhibition on George V's private tour to India, 'The Warrior' draws from extraordinary real life pieces and places them in a world of harmonious cultural symbiosis and dignity. There is an exploration of combined mythologies, stories and craftsmanship and explores the strong bond between the UK and South Asia.

A Quiet Rising
Shona Raine
Brighton
My work explores the intersections of Blackness, healing, and our connection to the natural world. Through digital collage, I layer imagery, textures, and archival fragments such as medical scans to tell stories that confront medical neglect and racism in healthcare systems, while also celebrating the resilience of Black life.
This body of work is both personal and political. It navigates inherited trauma and collective memory, while envisioning restorative futures grounded in care, community, and connection to the Earth. Each collage becomes a site of reclamation, foraging often erased narratives. This collage features a femme figure who rises, stoic and defiant from the depths of an ocean full of pathology, fist raised. Her foot curls around a pathology highlighted in the scan of her milk ducts.
In the context of this exhibition's theme of diversity as humanity�s richness, my art invites reflection on how black life is essential to our shared human story.

A colective perspective
Juliana Boom
London
This piece began as a collage using everyday products from different generations of our contemporary world. Objects that, regardless of their origin or meaning, have shaped the lives of many across the globe. What I wanted to express is not whether their impact has been good or bad, but the simple fact of their presence in our daily lives.
We might come from different backgrounds, yet as human beings we share more than just the obvious �our bodies� we share ordinary experiences that make us feel connected. As a migrant, I�ve learned that even in a place with structural and historical differences from my own, I can find familiarity and magic in its people: willing to teach, share, and smile at what is different.
This moment in time asks us to do exactly that: to embrace diversity, but also to notice what we have in common. It�s in that balance that we can feel at home in new spaces and begin weaving bonds of support, solidarity, and curiosity for one another.

All Walks of Life (detail)
Susan Williams
Kettering Northants UK
Detail view of 40 x 4 metres artwork.
Shoes are mounted on perspex stands that seem to disappear leaving the viewer with what appears to be a procession of walking shoes - the missing people becoming notable. The work was made at Boughton House for the Greenbelt Festival, capturing the ethos of the gathering whilst reflecting the history of the Northamptonshire shoe industry, in this historical setting. The installation is fitted to the space creating a pathway linking entrances either side of the lawn and suggests a procession or gathering, all walking in unison. The shoes reflect all walks of life from every age group, including shoes that were completely trashed, to barely worn, or even unworn items and were all donated by the public. The colours of the shoes were arranged to flow into one another and create a harmony, a rainbow of sorts, when viewed from the path around the grass. Other associations include a parade, a flower bed, a river or stream, the flow of life, of time and aging.

Berg- und Talfahrt
Marc Allgaier
Stuttgart/Germany
Berg und Talfahrt is a large-scale spatial collage that reflects on the complexity and fragility of constructed systems. Made from recycled cardboard, photographic fragments, and architectural forms, the walkable installation unfolds as a landscape of layered contradictions: elevation and erosion, memory and forgetting, structure and collapse.
The work embraces diversity not as a decorative motif, but as a structural principle. Each material, each angle, each layer opens up new perspectives. Depending on the viewer�s position, Berg und Talfahrt presents a different reality�reminding us that no single viewpoint can capture the whole.
Originally created for a site-specific context, the work is here presented as a digital photograph that captures its immersive physicality and conceptual depth. It invites reflection on how difference, fragmentation, and transformation are not obstacles, but the very foundation of resilience.

Beyond the chair
Angel Bourne
Doncaster
My artwork is a celebration of imagination as the greatest superpower—one that rises above physical limits and speaks to the heart of diversity. At the center is a little boy in a wheelchair, dressed as Ironman, not because he’s pretending, but because he is a hero. He sits quietly with a book of grand adventures, dreaming of faraway lands, battles won, and skies he can soar through—not with his legs, but with the boundless strength of his mind.
Around him grows a dreamscape: oversized mushrooms tower like ancient trees, the sky blushes in deep purples and soft pinks, and a bright yellow sun pours warmth over his world. It’s a place where limitations dissolve and wonder takes root. This piece is not just about disability—it’s about possibility. It's a reminder that being different is not a weakness but a source of brilliance and beauty. In every color and shape, I’ve tried to capture how imagination can transform reality, and how diversity makes every story more powerful.

Bowhead, Whale and Beluga in Arctic Ocean
Daria Koshkina
online
My project explores the life of three Arctic marine species: Walrus, Bowhead, and Beluga. Beluga whales are endangered, while Walruses and Bowheads are not – but for how long?
Using the data of Happywhale.com I created data portraits of three marine species that represent their movements in the Arctic Ocean. Each dot represents the location where the animal was spotted. I want to promote the idea that by interacting with animals not as strangers but as acquaintances, we can make them our friends. By knowing, recognizing, and caring for particular beings, which together create a community, we can promote awareness, togetherness, and ecosystem restoration.
While I could provide more actual data, maps, and numbers, I chose abstract data art as a form of communication because those species, living near us every day, are barely known to us as individuals.

The work was created during a period of disconnection, when both personal and collective events left me in a state of stillness. I felt the urge to turn away from the world.

Conversations in the desert
Johanna Tomczak
United Kingdom
We met him during our stay on the edge of the Moroccan desert. We had arrived late in the evening by coach, and our host had picked us up with his four-wheel drive. After a night in a comfortable little clay house, we departed with our dromedary camels into the desert. Our guide was not very communicative, but it was our fault, for not being able to speak Darija, the local Arabic dialect. His eyes agreed with us, though, that the camels made funny noises and smelled like hell when they burped and farted. The ride into the desert was of such beauty and tranquility, that we soon forgot about this small noisy disturbance from our four-legged friends. After two hours being moved back and forth on the camels� backs, we arrived at our camp for the night, and this is where we met him!
We were never quite sure whether he knew which language he was speaking, as words seemed to come out of his mouth naturally and effortlessly in a very personal version of Esperanto. He held his head high and smiled humbly, his hands constantly moving, when he talked with pride about his country and culture.

Episkin

Episkin draws on Donna Haraway�s Cyborg Manifesto, placing the female body within grids and dreamlike illusions to evoke a �skin beyond the skin.� This second layer is both interface and constraint, reflecting how femininity in the digital age is reconstructed, fragmented, and reimagined. Between the real and the virtual, the work asks: when the body becomes data and image, does selfhood dissolve, or is it precisely here�in this virtual skin�that new forms of subjectivity and freedom may emerge?

Gem Geckos
ElyX
Spain
Title:
"Gem Geckos: The Keepers of Playful Light"
Official Description:
Alive with radiant color and elemental sparkle, the Gem Geckos dance across the moss like living constellations. These are unmistakably geckos, with their compact form, large eyes, and an energy that is both restless and endearing.
What’s most fascinating is that they appear sculpted from a mesmerizing blend of blue sapphires, red rubies, green emeralds, and golden topaz, all set into bodies that glisten with textures reminiscent of opal or labradorite. They are a true reptilian constellation in motion.
As totem animals, geckos represent renewal, adaptability, and survival in liminal spaces—those transitional realms where light meets shadow, intuition meets instinct, and transformation is born. With their regenerative tails and intuitive movement, geckos embody the sacred art of beginning again. They teach us that rebirth doesn’t always roar; sometimes, it tiptoes in with playful grace and subtle power.
The stones they wear each carry a sacred resonance:
Sapphire: clarity of mind and divine perception
Ruby: life force, sacred passion, and courage
Emerald: heart wisdom, healing, and inner growth
Topaz: inspiration, radiant expression, and creative joy
Opal/Labradorite: dreamwork, emotional depth, and multidimensional insight
Together, they form the Archetype of the Primal Prism—tiny beings with ancient wisdom, reminding us that magic hides in motion, in color, and in the instinct to adapt and shine.

Growing a new hand from the nerves
Jingyun Guan
London
For me, the hand represents a sexual organ, a powerful metaphor for vitality. I used the shape of my right hand as a mould, sculpting it in wax. The sensation of wax against the skin is both hot and painful, and its colour mirrors that of skin after being forcibly peeled away, creating a space for imagination and reflection.

Georgia de la Bertauche-Bull
Northampton
I started taking the medication Lyrica and improved a lot. I went back to him, he reviewed the tests and said indeed, you don't have arthritis. Your diagnosis is fibromyalgia. And then it was a liberation because then you escape from that madness. What you have, why you don't get better."
The above quote from an anonymous study participant who lives with fibromyalgia inspired this piece, which is part of the series "Beyond Voices" that I created as a person with fibromyalgia, to tell the stories of chronically ill people using their own words and lived experiences. To me, the bright colours and jovial positioning of the body symbolises the power and contagion of hope.

If The Shoe Fits
Marta Byrdziak
Poland
If The Shoe Fits, is part of a series exploring the journey of discovering femininity. It features small, child-size pink shoes resting on the small red carpet, with each of the elements being sculpted from glass. It reflects both vulnerability and resilience, highlighting the complex experience of womanhood.
The saying "if the shoe fits" suggests that a label or role may be appropriate, but in this context it makes viewers think about how social norms and stereotypes influence how women see themselves. This sculpture aims to explore these experiences and encourage a deeper understanding of the personal and societal influences on femininity.
The sculpture encourages reflection on whether people truly fit the roles assigned to them or are creating their own paths. It invites discussion about the diversity of femininity, inspiring everyone to find what truly fits them�symbolizing confidence and acceptance.

In the park
Shujing Shen
London
In this work, Shujing Shen captures a peaceful afternoon in the park where people, each with their own stories, share the same open space. Families, friends, and strangers coexist—resting, playing, or simply being present. The diversity of gestures, distances, and interactions reflects the beauty of human difference in everyday life. Influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures, Shujing’s practice embraces fleeting moments of presence and emotion, unfolding organic forms and vibrant colors to highlight harmony in diversity. This painting offers a tender invitation to pause, reflect, and celebrate the richness of coexistence.

Les Demoiselles de Boulevard
Jonathan Marshall
Darlington/England
My current series of drawings are inspired by the American artist Edward Kienholz (d.1994) and his seminal installation �The Beanery� (1965); a work I first saw in 1989, as a student, but encountered again in spring 2018, while visiting Amsterdam and the Stedelijk Museum. Kienholz made this work in response to the famous Los Angeles diner, �Barney�s Beanery�.
Entering Kienholz�s Beanery is an intimidating and claustrophobic experience. The homophobic countenance in the bar has caused me to question those present, their motivations for being there, comfortable to socialise under the offensive sign �Fagots - Stay Out!�
As I make my drawings I have set myself the challenge to reinvent all 17 figures seen in Kienholz�s installation. By removing the clocks from their faces, as seen in Kienholz�s work, my intention has been to reveal new identities and place them into new contexts where prejudice is challenged, and where difference and equality is celebrated. It has also been my intention to evaluate the issues Kienholz addressed in his work more generally, regarding the way individuals acquire power and how they command and abuse it. I see the characters in my drawings as agents who give voice to those on the margins; they hope for a better future where people are respected, no matter the condition of their being.
'Les Demoiselles de Boulevard' is the seventh drawing completed in the Beanery series. The drawing reimagines the 3 characters found at the back of Kienholz�s installation; here two sit enjoying a meal while being served by a waitress stood at their table. In my work the figures are replaced with �the ladies of Boulevard�. Boulevard is a drag cabaret theatre in Newcastle upon Tyne. Leading lady Danni Dee is the figure to the right, Miss Rory, host and compere, the figure to the left; above both, is Boulevard�s former leading lady, Betty Legs Diamond. In the work the simple serving of a meal at the Beanery has descended into a dramatic �food� fight. The altercation sees table and chairs upturned, food projected, flowers flung, and a sauce bottle squirted. Betty, oblivious to the commotion caused by the other two, is in the final note of her song and dramatically throws a multitude of plastic butterflies in the air. The scene is framed by the Boulevard stage, where the bar can be seen in the lower foreground. In this section some of the great and good of female impersonation have been depicted; Danny le Rue and Lily Savage, to name but two. Take further notice and see that the scene of camp and exuberance is fully played out on a giant mirror ball.

Masking
Eva Svigelj
Ljubljana, Slovenia
We are all different in our own way, but many of us end up hiding behind a mask just to feel accepted, to blend in with what society expects. This piece is about the mask I used to wear, the one that covered up my real personality and the little differences that actually make me, me. For a long time, I thought I needed it to belong. But I've learned to let it go, to take it off, and to finally lean into who I truly am.

This is a found material collage piece, which was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend about the recent pop ups of England flag graffiti and rise in anti immigrant protests. Her point of view on the issue and emotions she felt were completely separate to mine as an immigrant . It brought up many memories of my home back in India and the shapes, colors and patterns in the United Kingdom that reminded me of the same. This conversation also forced me to question belonging and the struggle in diversity . I collected materials from my surrounding area and tried to combine them with objects I collected from home to create something that offered comfort.

Never Again with These Pandas
Karl Pont
Österreich
It was supposed to be a relaxed trip to this art event in UK. A bit of art, a few beers, partying in the evening. But the trip is getting increasingly complicated.
First, Mo left his phone somewhere. Then Mo was gone. No phone, no Mo.
The rest of the pandas, unfortunately, were still there. One was solemnly handing out hugs to strangers. Another had almost joined a school group. He was already standing in the middle, backpack on, staring straight ahead. We pulled him out just in time.
A third panda blocked the entrance to a burger place for several minutes, stared straight ahead, and refused to move. Someone eventually gave him a burger. No words. Probably the smartest thing anyone did that day.
Now we’re on the road to UK. The pandas are asleep, sprawled across the back seat. Mo got in touch again. Said he “just joined some guys on a bachelor party for a bit.”
Folks, we’re on our way.

Our choice
Yingting Lu
London
Our Choice is a multi-media painting that explores the interplay between choice and illusion in contemporary society. At the center, blurred human forms merge with flowing fields of blue and green, evoking both the instability of identity and the gradual erosion of selfhood under meritocratic and consumerist pressures.
Layers of printed receipts overlay the surface, forming an invisible web of records that mirror how everyday life becomes datafied and archived. The intermingling of blue, yellow, and purple tones creates a visual atmosphere that feels both transparent and weighted�reflecting the coexisting allure and anxiety of liquid modernity.
Our Choice does not offer a linear narrative; instead, it invites viewers to sense, within the entanglement of materials, symbols, and colors, whether our seemingly free decisions are in fact circumscribed by more covert social structures. The work becomes both a questioning of the notion of �free choice� and a quiet call for individual agency.

Qi's??? Silent Resonance
Yixue Yang
Sunderland/UK
This sculpture, featuring swirling forms and a suspended orb within a transparent cube, evokes the mythic creation act in the story of Pangu from Chinese mythology. Harmonizing with Laozi's ideas of 'Wu' (?, non-being) and 'Qi' (?, vital energy), it symbolizes chaotic pre-creation energy. The sphere within signifies the genesis moment, reflecting Pangu's world-shaping. The clear cube represents a 'Wu' boundary, a transformative liminal space. Undulating surfaces embody dynamic 'Qi.(??� Bridging cultural narratives, the piece prompts contemplation on creation and existence, serving as a visual meditation on chaos, order, and universal existential themes.

Reconstruction of Beauty
Anna Li
Nottingham, Nottinghampshire
This painting reclaims the classical tradition of the nude by presenting a disabled male body with unapologetic tenderness and strength. Drawing from the techniques of Modigliani and the aesthetics of Western art history, Reconstruction of Beauty asks: who has historically been seen as worthy of depiction? Rather than idealising or concealing physical difference, the painting exposes it as a site of alternative beauty. Positioned within the The Edge of Sexuality project, this work reflects the artist�s ongoing commitment to returning disabled figures into the canon of art as sensual, self-aware, and central.

Reframing graffiti
Kelsie Pullen
Peterborough
With this piece of work, I wanted to focus the audience�s attention on the symbolic relationship between graffiti and its environment. Using photographic liquid emulsion, I have transferred images of graffiti-covered locations onto concrete, merging street art with traditional photographic techniques. Liquid emulsion allows images to be printed on many different surfaces you wouldn�t usually think possible, such as concrete, which emphasises the raw textured nature of the urban space. Through this process, viewers are encouraged to reconsider graffiti�s artistic and cultural significance beyond its common association with vandalism.

Unleashing Feminine Charm: A Portrait of Chinese Drag Queens
Upon witnessing the dazzling performances on RuPaul�s Drag Race, I became more resolute than ever to embark on a photographic project that celebrates the performative power of femininity. This body of work centers on the emerging drag queen scene in contemporary China, a space where identity, gender, and expression intersect with complexity and beauty.
The series is composed of large-scale environmental portraits that frame each subject in their chosen aesthetic world�elaborate, deliberate, and commanding. These images do not merely document; they amplify the charm, strength, and vulnerability of those who defy conventional binaries.
A guiding thought behind the project is encapsulated in a quote attributed to Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history:
�If you put a man in a woman�s position, he will become a woman.�
This statement is not about transformation through costume, but about empathy, power, and the fluid nature of roles we are often forced to inhabit. The plight of the marginalized, the struggle for voice and visibility�these are not bound by gender. They are universal.
Through this work, I seek not to define femininity, but to unleash it�in all its theatrical, political, and deeply human forms.

This piece speaks to the essence of diversity, unfolding through a vivid interplay of colour, texture, and form. A rich tapestry of yellows, oranges, greens, and reds evokes the beauty of difference woven together, while deep roots anchor the work in a shared foundation of humanity. The layered surface represents the depth and complexity of varied perspectives, standing in stark contrast to the surrounding white space, which signifies the absence of such richness. Out of this contrast, a subtle human form appears; without identity, without colour, simply a being and rooted in nature and unbound by labels. Like a tree blossoming into fullness, the composition reminds us that diversity is not merely an adornment but a force that brings vitality, energy, and meaning, transforming emptiness into a living expression of life.

Scouse Bird? - borderless
Sandra Mutukwa
Liverpool, England
Scouse Bird? - borderless (2025) was created in response to the anti-immigration riots of August 2024 in Liverpool and other regions. During this time, Mutukwa witnessed a bird fall to its death in her garden, which caused great distress due to sounding like a brick had been thrown at the window. Imagine a world where people migrate as birds do � this would most likely result in chaos, like riots. Comparing these two narratives with the overlapping theme of trauma, through dual meanings in the artworks� titles and the series title alluding to the personification of the bird as a self-portrait (since �scouse bird� is the slang term for a Liverpudlian woman), Mutukwa is attempting to communicate questioning her identity and searching for a solution.

Seeking Safety (Click the image to expand)
Patricia Anderson-Turner
Families across our globe have made the life-altering decision to uproot, to relocate, from the homes they love and know. They leave to escape the destruction of the floods and droughts of climate change, the fear of gang violence, and the horrific devastation of war and famine. So many of us who are more fortunate do not comprehend the life-altering changes they must face to Seek Safety for themselves and their loved ones. To then be treated like common criminals upon arrival without due process in our country is abhorrent.
This piece measures 19 x 39 x 4”. It comprises two panels of silk dyed with powdered textile dyes for luminescence, embellished with ink-drawn background figures, and a foreground family made of dye-painted archival papers mounted on felt and sewn. It is designed to hang from a ceiling.

Certain social phenomena inspire this series in China, where parents use their children's awards and achievements as tools for self-glorification�proof of their own values, choices, and capabilities. In many cases, the children are pressured, coerced, or even treated as extensions of their parents' will, stripped of autonomy in the pursuit of these accomplishments.
These images prompted a question in me: at what point did these children lose their sense of self and soul, becoming empty shells displaying borrowed glory? Instead of celebrating the trophies and certificates, shouldn�t we pay more attention to the invisible weight and labour behind them?
In these works, the children's faces are deliberately obscured. By erasing their facial features, I hope to shift the viewer�s focus to the hollowed bodies and the piles of test papers�symbols of a process that often erases identity in the pursuit of external validation.

Soft Unfolding explores the quiet resilience found in the everyday lives of women. Formed through hand-building and slow, intuitive gestures, the sculpture unfolds like skin or petals, appearing fragile, yet grounded and enduring. Uneven glaze and areas of exposed clay reveal the imperfect but persistent journey of adaptation, care, and emotional labour. The work is inspired by workshops with migrant women, where stories of migration, identity shift, and transformation became interwoven with clay. It speaks of a softness that holds strength, shaped through acts of folding, holding, and staying open.

Still here somehow
Greg Williamson
Glossop
Two scarecrows stand alone in a barren, forgotten field�silent sentinels of a long fight for help that never came. They represent our two children with SEND, left out of education and support systems since 2023.
Weathered and worn, the scarecrows are deteriorating�just like our children�neglected by the very services meant to protect them. Scarecrows embody helplessness and vulnerability, a painful reflection of our reality. Around them, crows gather�not as a threat, but as a symbol. In folklore, crows represent messages from beyond, misfortune, and even death. It's a chillingly accurate metaphor. These birds don�t fly away; they watch. Just as the systems watch and do nothing, while our children continue to fall apart.
The scarecrows are bound tightly with rope�mirroring how our children�s struggles are entwined. Supporting one child often leads to further neglect of the other. Still, services persist in treating them as isolated cases.
The larger scarecrow stretches toward the top of the canvas�his childhood nearly gone, wasted waiting for the help that never arrived. The smaller figure clutches its stomach in pain. This is our youngest, who suffers from ARFID�an eating disorder that�s misunderstood and grossly unsupported. Despite his severe food-related challenges, the local authority insists he should thrive in a mainstream setting. They refuse to see the reality before them.
These scarecrows are not just a symbol. They are a cry for help, a depiction of loss, and a damning portrait of a system that continues to fail our children.

Stillness in Motion
where time pauses, but the dance never ends
Stillness in Motion is a dance photography project by Cody Choi, a London-based ex-Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake dancer and choreographer, born and raised in Hong Kong. Travelling across East Asia over two months, Cody collaborated with dancers in diverse urban landscapes, capturing fleeting moments of stillness within dynamic motion.
Asia may seem close, but feels far away in terms of culture and identity. This project became a personal journey to rediscover himself as a Hong Kong born artist bridging his roots with his creative path. The series explores how movement interacts with architectural space, emotion, and cultural identity, revealing the quiet intensity of dance in everyday surroundings.

Each strand contributes to a richer, more vibrant whole, reflecting the beauty of diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences coming together."

Strawberries
Olya Frolova
Ukraine
For me, the strawberry is not just a berry, but a symbol of diversity and harmony. Each fruit embodies the strength of nature, the delicacy of taste, and the beauty of its unique form. It represents difference not as something that divides, but as something that unites.
When I work with strawberries, I see more than their sweetness � I see stories: the subtle variations of red, the textures, the individuality of each berry. Together they form a composition, just as we do � different, yet stronger in unity.
My work reminds us that it is difference itself that deserves to be celebrated, for it creates true beauty. The strawberry becomes a metaphor for diversity � not as fragility, but as the very foundation of resilience and inspiration.

TSUGI: Ordinary into Identity � Avocado & Coffee
Fumika Tani
London, United Kingdom
This work reimagines Kasuri (Japanese Ikat), a craft once used in everyday kimono, through the lens of sustainability and shared cultural heritage. Traditionally, kasuri relied on indigo, a dye abundant and accessible to common people in Japan. Here, I replace indigo with dyes drawn from what defines our �ordinary� today�avocado stones and coffee grounds, remnants of daily consumption in the UK.
Woven in British wool at kimono width, the surface employs horizontal kasuri to reconstruct the grid and check motifs, patterns deeply rooted in both Japanese and British visual histories. Checks emerge from the simplest act of crossing vertical and horizontal threads�yet across cultures they hold identity and belonging. On the reverse, the design references Benkei-g?shi in Japan and the house check in Britain, linking traditions once separated by distance.
By transforming overlooked waste into colour and reinterpreting familiar motifs, this textile proposes that heritage is not preserved by replication, but by relevance. In this act of weaving, difference becomes continuity: ordinary waste becomes pigment, local wool becomes a vessel for distant traditions, and a Japanese craft is reborn within a British landscape.
TSUGI, meaning �to join, to patch, to inherit,� here embodies diversity itself�threads from distinct origins woven together, sustaining cultural memory while creating space for new identities.

The Dissapearance of My Mother
Yuhan Chen
London
In China, most parents only present the image of their elders in front of their children so that we can only see a woman as a mother rather than a distinct person. One day, when I was riding the Ferris wheel with my mother, I heard her asking the staff how long it would take for the Ferris wheel to make a complete circle because of her claustrophobia; one day, when I was reading a book in the living room, I heard her silently turning down the volume on her cell phone; one day, I heard her complaining to my uncle on the balcony about her dissatisfaction with her work. In this nuanced family narrative, I realized that I never seemed to have deeply understood the person to whom I was most closely related by blood.
Therefore, in this work, I want to use a private perspective to explore and connect the social issue of family affection in the public context of China through shooting in private spaces, family public spaces, and social public spaces. As Irene Netta says: �In the moving image, individual moments dissolve in a continuous narrative, whereas in the fixed image, the narrative is generated in the individual moments depicted.�
Like a deep dream, in the changing life patterns, looking for the invisible, find her.

The composition celebrates diversity which I believe enriches our souls and subsequent quality of life. The painting comprises of personal influences involving culture, the environment, music, and of course the rainbow which represents inclusion for all.

The Liminal Body Of The Self
Sevda Demir
Turkey
The Liminal Body of the Self
*In Sevda Demir�s self-portrait, the body becomes an unstable frontier � neither entirely visible nor entirely hidden, suspended between exposure and concealment. By placing herself at the center of the work, the artist turns the act of self-representation into a confrontation with the �shadow self,� that unacknowledged terrain where desire, fear, and memory converge.
The portrait refuses to offer a stable image of identity. Instead, it fractures and multiplies, evoking the porous and mutable nature of the self. Here, the body is not a fixed container of truth, but a liminal threshold: a site where contradictions coexist, where knowing and unknowing overlap, and where presence constantly dissolves into absence.
Rather than reassuring the viewer, Demir�s work insists on uncertainty as a necessary condition of being. Her self-portrait becomes a mirror that does not resolve but unsettles � asking us to inhabit ambiguity, to recognize the shadow not as an absence but as an active presence shaping who we are. In this way, the artist�s own image transforms into a universal meditation on the fragility and multiplicity of identity.*

The Rising Tide Part 2 'Are Flag'
Sharon James
Swanage Dorset
St George was not English. He was born in what is now Turkey and died in Palestine. And yet his flag has come to symbolise Englishness, patriotism and, too often, exclusion.
For me, seeing the flag is complicated. I never know what it means in the hands of others. Is it joy? Football? National pride? Or is it something sharper, something aimed at people like me difference marked out in colour? That uncertainty is its own kind of trigger.
The idea that this country is under siege by immigrants is being used as fuel for marches and division. But the irony is clear: England�s patron saint was himself from elsewhere.
In this work, I�ve made the white of the flag from anonymous faces that try to cover black. Within it, black and brown faces push through, refusing erasure, reclaiming the flag, and insisting on a place within it.
Silence is not an option. To stay quiet is to be complicit and I refuse to be complicit.

The Sun
james mellor
Sheffield United Kingdom
This artwork celebrates the vibrant mosaic of human diversity, embracing the beauty found in our unique cultures, identities, and stories. Through a blend of colors, textures, and symbolism, the piece reflects the strength that arises when different voices come together in harmony. It challenges the fear of difference and invites viewers to recognize diversity not as a threat, but as the foundation of resilience, empathy, and shared humanity. This work is a visual affirmation that our varied experiences enrich the world and unite us in a collective journey toward understanding and inclusion.

The Upside Down Lens
Em Pickford
Brighton
I want to share my work, titled 'The Upside Down Lens' which is a handmade zine combining poetry and photographs to explore disability, memory, and the persistence of everyday life. Through text and image, it reflects on the lived experience of mild disability, the invisible nature of survival, and the resilience required to carry on in a world that often misunderstands or overlooks difference.
This work contributes to the exhibition�s celebration of diversity by centring disability as an important part of human variety, one that brings its own perspective, creativity, and strength.
It is an invitation for audiences to pause, reflect, and recognise that our diversity whether visible or invisible, is not only part of our humanity, but also a source of connection and strength. Submission is a layout of the zine, PDF to be sent depending on acceptance.

Threaded Route
Fausat Ladokun
Birmingham/United Kingdom
Threaded Route was inspired to celebrate African heritage, beauty, and history. This artwork pays homage to African women whose voices and stories have often been lost in history. It honours the creativity and resilience of women who, in their search for freedom, used their hair as coded maps to guide themselves and others home.
For this work, I explored the idea of hair not only as a symbol of beauty, but also as a vessel of culture, identity, and survival. Our hair carries memory, history, and pride � a living thread that connects us to our ancestors and roots.

Threads Unraveling
Olubunmi Elizabeth Albert-Abu
Manchester
It begins with a thread.
One single thread — strong enough to weave a life, yet fragile enough to fray under strain. For some, that thread is a career. For others, it’s a relationship, a dream, experience or a sense of self. For me — and for many like me — it was all of these intertwined. In 2021, the rich fabric of my world began to loosen and become grey. Not all at once, but in quiet, almost invisible ways. The darkness began creeping in and I didn’t notice how everything began to become gray. At first, it was unhappiness mistaken for busyness. Silence mistaken for strength. Until the “Threads Unravelling” could no longer be ignored. My colorful threads of success became loose, broken threads drifting apart, symbolising early unraveling of stability and sneaky onset of depression.

Through the floral lens
Abibat Adedayo
United Kingdom
This painting is all about perspective, how beauty reveals itself when we slow down and really look. I imagined viewing nature through a lens that sharpens color and detail, like pausing in a moment of awe. Through the Floral Lens frames a vibrant bloomscape that bursts with life, warmth, and movement. The flowers aren�t just decorative; they represent joy, resilience, and the simple power of paying attention to small wonders.

Together We Bloom
Minna Chang
London
This painting celebrates the beauty, vitality and strength that diversity offers, especially when we come together. The hands reaching out to one another represents the power of unity, support, collaboration and collective strength. Each hand is intricately filled with a multitude of colorful flowers and leaves, all different in shape, size, and color. This diversity in floral patterns symbolizes the uniqueness of each person, culture, or identity, all coexisting beautifully in the same space. Though each flower and element is distinct, together they form a cohesive, vibrant pattern�suggesting that our differences don't divide us; instead, they enhance the richness of our shared humanity. The hands are not static; they are reaching toward each other, implying effort, intention, and a desire for connection despite differences. It represents the strength found when diverse individuals or communities reach across divides to collaborate.

Transparencies in Time:
Jose Trejo Maya
studio
I am a remnant of the Nahuatlacah oral tradition a tonalpouhque mexica, a commoner from
the lowlands (i.e., Mexico) from a time and place that no longer exists. At present my poetry
has been reified as it has been published in the UK, US, India, Spain, Australia, Argentina,
Germany, and Venezuela. I have been exhibited in different venues with a work that’s titled:
Transparencies in Time: Cuahpohualli embedded in ethnopoetic language poetry:. I seek to
expand this work into a comprehensive exhibit in a gallery and/or installation in 3D public art
sculptures (i.e., three simultaneous monumental works that expand into multiple levels of
perception and/or dimensions). . In this the sculptures came from dreams, it’s a refraction of
our ancestors so you see a mirror in yourself, as naturally the visual art is transparent as its in
films and sealed in acrylic/plexiglass to give it a holographic effect.

Vale of Tears
You Lee
London
Vale of Tears was created in a moment of personal low tide. The melting glacier, rendered in flowing, unrestrained lines, reflects both an intimate landscape of sorrow and the fragile state of our shared planet. Each brushstroke follows the rhythm of emotion while honoring the structure of nature, turning private grief into a broader meditation on change and survival.
In the dissolving ice lies a dual meaning: tears of the individual, and the loss endured by communities and cultures when threatened by forces beyond their control. By linking personal sorrow with global transformation, the work speaks to the vulnerability of both people and the earth, while affirming that resilience and renewal remain possible. In the spirit of this exhibition, it calls for a collective voice�one that values diversity, safeguards tradition, and transforms fragility into strength through solidarity and understanding.

Woven identities II
Oluwaseyi Olaide
Lagos
This (series) explores the fusion of both African and Western influences, embodying the complexities of cultural heritage and transformation.
It suggests the interconnectedness of cultures, the blending of traditions, and the idea of creating something new and cohesive from diverse influences. It also evokes a sense of identity and heritage being woven together across different geographies and histories.
The black figure adorned in vintage English clothing against its vibrant background which symbolizes the convergence of traditions and histories.
The floral and line effects, along with the cut-and-paste paper, represent the evolving narrative of identity, resilience, and the continuous weaving of past and present into a unified whole.

quartet for a broken world
Katia Geha
it's a video so my computer?
This is a sonic and video work where four performers interact and using various objects, gradually break a brick.
This work is fundamentally based on ideas of brokenness. It displays the state of a society where the foundations are unstable and slowly breaking. In a society like this, even when we are given the time to repair and mend, we simply do not have the correct or enough resources.
This nothing unlike the tragedies in Lebanon – a country so beautiful and so dear to me and my family. The foundations of the country cannot provide the help that its civilians need. The country faced one of its biggest crises post the Beirut Explosion in 2020, where over 77 000 apartments were destroyed, where prior to this many buildings still had not had the potential to be rebuilt due to lack of resources post the Lebanese Civil War.
This work recently won first prize in The Engine Room's International Sound Art Competition with the installation being shown at Morley Gallery.

This work was inspired by a celebration event that I often witnessed when I was little in my hometown, one of the things that caught my attention was when the session after the ijab kobul was eating together where the guests (especially men) sat cross-legged facing the food dishes that had been arranged on plates neatly and arranged where in each plate served several types of food / side dishes as a dish besides there was also a plate of rice arranged in a long row, as for the side dishes such as rendang, chicken curry, soy sauce vermicelli, fried noodles, gado-gado, egg chili and others. Almost every celebration is identical to such things without looking at social strata, the presentation of such dishes is very identical to the identity found in the diversity of society in the Sumatra region, especially southern Sumatra. The presentation of dishes at a celebration may not all be the same and what is clear is that it is diverse as in the presentation of the dishes that I visualize with a variety of menus that are arranged in a unique or identical way. I created this work as a reminder that in the past our society had unique characteristics and ways of forming diversity into an identity, which perhaps has now begun to be displaced and perhaps forgotten.
