Jakub is cultural producer and curator who works with co-creation and collaboration across media, building environments and situations which eliminate the distinction between artist and audience. Installations, mixed media art pop-ups, performances and workshops offer participants of all ages and skill levels the opportunity to try new modes of expression and make “beautiful mistakes”. Self-taught and deeply rooted in practice of free improvisation, spontaneous music and homebrew electronics, his current work turns close listening to spaces into pieces that outlive the events that made them.

Constança is an artist and handpoke tattooist working with drawing, sculpture, movement and mixed media, born in Lisbon and currently based in London. She graduated from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Contemporary Dance in 2020, where her passion for visual arts and movement led her to develop methodologies that unite these mediums. By weaving her drawing and movement practices with explorations of earthen and organic materials, Constança creates deeply personal and tactile works that reflect her complex relationship with nature and self.

Her artistic process begins with direct interaction with the natural world, where she collects materials such as handmade charcoal, foraged plants, stones, and clay. These elements form the foundation of her drawings and sculptures, serving as both tools and collaborators. Whether pressing plants into paper to capture their imprint or using charcoal to mark her own body in a foetal position, Constança’s work blurs the line between the human and natural realms.

The body is central to her practice, not only as a subject but as a medium of creation. Through her dance background, Constança uses movement to explore the dynamic relationship between perception and making, often layering physical gestures into her work. Her drawings, sculptures, and tattoos reflect a harmonious dialogue between observation, memory, and imagination.

In her handpoke tattoo practice, she extends this philosophy, creating natural stencils with organic forms. Her tattoos are a testament to the healing power of marking one’s body with intention, offering her clients an embodied connection to her artistic values. This ethos also carries into her collaborative projects, such as Sis Project with Boryana Petkova, which connects women across the globe through the shared gesture of a handpoked line.

Constança’s work is deeply rooted in themes of belonging, memory, and transformation. By using her hands as a bridge between her body, nature, and the creative process, she invites her audience to reflect on their own connections to the natural world and the stories embedded within it.

Best known for his experimental works on paper, the artist Diogo Pimentão (Lisbon, 1973) lives and works in London. Studied at Ar.Co. Art Center and Visual Communication, Lisbon; in Gotland, and Centro Internacional de Escultura, Pero Pinheiro.

The practice of drawing is the central axis of his work, through which he redefines the very notion of drawing itself. Using mainly paper and graphite, at times in combination with concrete, video and performance, Diogo Pimentão's works complicate the categorical boundaries off drawing. 

He often claims not to be interested in representation, that is, the hand-eye coordination necessary to produce a realistic image and the realistic image itself. Rather, his works on paper (but also cement, organic matter, books, graphite beads and reclaimed paper cuts) are a reflexion on power and vulnerability through a collaboration of sorts with materials

By altering perceptions of materiality and space, his works invite viewers to reconsider their surroundings, shifting their understanding of depth, weight, and structure through the act of looking and moving within the exhibition space.

Diogo Pimentão’s work is a hybrid association between figures of recent abstract history (Morton Feldman, Agnes Martin, Yvonne Rainer, Richard Nonas, the Mono-Ha movement, Fernando Calhau and many others) and a far more unconventional daily practice of concentration on small invisible gestures – rather than conceptual constructs – that prepare the mind for the world. He believes in communication beyond words, in a world where language is an embodied form of nomadic attention to catch the ephemeral without breaking it.

Dr. Joana P. R. Neves is an independent contemporary art curator and writer with over 20 years of experience in the contemporary visual art field. Artistic director of Drawing Now Paris since 2018, she has curated exhibitions in museums and art spaces across Europe. In 2020, she obtained her PhD in Art History. She co-launched the art non-profit Worlding (London). In 2024, she created the podcast Exhibitionistas–Notes on Art,complemented by her publication Art Thinkosaurus on Substack.
Her goal is to demystify contemporary art by blending art history, theory, and personal reflections to root art in today's world rather than a sensationalist list of auction prices in the media. A polyglot, she grew up in Lisbon, studied and lived in Paris, to finally settle in London with her artist husband, four children and two cats. Her latest projects aim to stimulate “art wonderment” through her writings but also her podcast, workshops and multi-disciplinary events. For more than two years, her experience with video and audio editing has led her to explore those two creative languages, along with writing and voice work.
