Woven Radical (Tallawah Smith) 
Woven Radical uses craft as a means to explore themes of social and climate justice, through collective artistic events and Tallawah’s individual artistic practice. 
Join Tallawah to take part in her multimedia collage project and ‘liberation’ worksheets.

DeeCee Studio (Dani Chekwezi)
Dani is an emerging art director, previous winner of Adobe’s stock image award, and has built a client base of Depop, NTS, Polydor and Museum of West African Art (MOWAA).
See Dani in situ and talk to her about  current film projects she is working on.

Looply (Fyona Seguin)
Looply is a London-based social enterprise and circular design studio that works hyper-locally to collect single-use soft plastics—such as bread bags, bubble wrap, and delivery packaging—from local businesses, venues, and individuals. Founded by Fyona Seguin in 2023, the initiative aims to keep this "unrecyclable" waste out of landfills by upcycling it into durable, unique products.
Join Fyona to make a keyring from recycled plastics.
