In 2025, Shani’s The Sun Is a Flame That Haunts The Night was on view at the High Line, New York. She also presented The Spell or The Dream, a large-scale installation and radio work at Somerset House, London, which subsequently toured to Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh, where it is on view until 27 September 2026. In September 2025, her second solo exhibition with Gathering, Cardinal, spanned both floors with gem-like paintings and a multilayered installation exploring ritual, movement and transformation.

Holly Blakey is among the foremost choreographers of her generation and one of the few female choreographers in the UK creating large-scale work. Her practice attends to the honest entanglements of embodied vulnerability, grief, and joy, always rooted in an intersectional feminist frame. As a director and choreographer, she has collaborated with artists including Rosalía, Harry Styles, and Florence + The Machine, and with fashion houses such as Vivienne Westwood, Burberry and Dior, interweaving live and commercial contexts, much of her practice often plays on the relationship between these distinct but not wholly separable worlds. 

Zein Majali is a Jordanian-Palestinian artist currently based in London where she  completed her MA in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art in 2022. Formerly an engineer and data analyst, she turned to the arts out of an urgency to archive and examine the accelerated cultural shifts in the Arab world. While her work touches on a post-colonial and globalized Middle East, her primary area of interest is the internet and its effects on both geopolitics and community.

Her practice includes video, sound, sculpture, AI and posting <3
