I construct speculative ecosystems through the interplay between the fictional organisms—rendered in printmaking, painting, animation, and installation—and the viewer. These ecosystems invite viewers to a site that investigates material imagination and the complex layers of perception and survival in contemporary society.
Clinton Sleeper / multidisciplinary artist / USA

As a media artist, performer, and maker, Clint Sleeper’s work humorously ponders an end to capitalism and seriously considers alternative possibilities for picking up the pieces and moving forward. This is a process of oscillating between old and new technologies as well as considering, in a clumsy fashion, popular or difficult philosophical positions.
Ultimately, this research and this artwork reiterates a sense of responsibility while upholding a brand of humor and a commitment to performing within those demands, however naive those performed roles may seem. The resulting books, videos, interactive sculptures, and performances are shown in galleries and festivals internationally.
Sandrine Deumier / multidisciplinary artist / France
www.sandrinedeumier.com/
Sandrine Deumier is a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of performance, poetry and video art whose work investigates post-futurist themes through the development of aesthetic forms related to digital imaginaries.
Passionate about digital storytelling and immersive artistic experiences, she has been working for several years to develop poetic and visual fictions centred on the imaginary world of the living. Ecological concerns and speculative futures are at the heart of her research. Her work focuses on imagining new ways of inhabiting the world using new technologies from an animist perspective, where the preservation of natural balances takes precedence over that of predation, accumulation and unlimited growth.
Sanni Pyhänniska / Printmaking, illustration / Finland
www.sannillustrates.com
Sanni Pyhänniska is an artist and printmaker working in printmaking, drawing and textiles, based between Finland and UK. Alongside her artistic practice she also works as an illustrator, event coordinator in the arts sector and a creative facilitator.
Originally from Finland, she studied Illustration at Falmouth University, Cornwall (2017-2020) and worked as a studio member at Spike Print Studio in Bristol from 2022 until 2025.
Influenced by the prominent Finnish textile artists she grew up admiring, her work is intuitive and process-led exploring texture, bold colour, and experimentative mark making.
Finding inspiration from personal memories, feeling, and conversation, her work captures moments of connection between people, environments and oneself. Where her imagery emerges from lived experiences and a subjective point of view, the figures in her work are women who are not tied to one time or place.
