  Chiara Dellerba

  Chiara Dellerba was born in Bari (Italy) and now lives and works in Nottingham (UK).

  Her practice is an organic open work structure of experimentation.  She is interested in how human nature works in relation to the process of making things.

  Chiara’s practice is a sub language ritual, related to repeated, simple tasks or continuous movement to create basic and ordinary shapes to turn into a vocabulary of images, symbols and signs most of the time in relation to particular spaces.  Using “Transitional objects” like mirrors and light, Chiara investigates the unconscious necessity for the human beings to regenerate their lives, their environment, their relationships and their way to perceive their reality in order to participate more actively within it.

  Orinta Jilija Pranaitytè

  Orinta Pranaityte is a visual artist engaged with performance art, video and sound combinations. Her practice reflects the ‘Passion for Freedom’ debate that uses universal languages of art to strengthen humanistic values “what is freedom and how hard is it to gain it back?”.

  In her work, she uses a mixture of psychology studies and the Eastern European identity, poetically narrating expressions through the sensuality of the female body. Former residencies and showings include ‘Pushing the inside out – Drawing the outside in’, Berlin (2015), UNESCO research project, Nida, Lithuania (2015), and ‘Free Frame’ City Arts, Nottingham (2015).

  Pranaityte has completed a BA (Hons) Fine Art course at the University of Lincoln in 2015 and is currently based in Lincolnshire, UK, part of soundLINCS as a Programme Facilitator.

  Jordanne Renee Cameron

  Jordanne Renee is a poet, blogger and workshop facilitator.  She is often overwhelmed by the term artist as she finds it hard to pigeonhole the work she has created/wishes to create.  She is a self-proclaimed advocate of self-love and aims to push messages of positivity and self care through her work (with particular emphasis on removing the shame from solitude and encouraging people to do things by themselves).

  Jordanne Renee is a multipotential lite, intersectional feminist, plantain enthusiast, avid tea drinker and sometimes this allows her to make things.
