Thursday 26th November-Sunday 6th December

Gallery Open Thurs - Saturdays 10am - 3pm

Rider Shafique and Jodi Hunt will return to the SVA Gallery to continue developing their ongoing collaborative practice, exploring themes of British/Caribbean identity, diaspora, heritage, sound and memory.

Rider Shafique is a multidisciplinary artist, vocalist, and photographer whose work explores British/Caribbean identity, diaspora, and the relationship between sound, memory, and visual culture. His practice moves between spoken word, sound, photography, and installation, drawing on storytelling traditions and cultural histories to examine themes of resistance, heritage, and belonging.

Jodi Hunt’s practice centres on identity, heritage, and storytelling through typography, image-making, and design. Her work often draws on diasporic histories and visual culture, using graphic language and material experimentation to reflect on memory, resistance, and cultural connection. Together, their collaborative practice combines typography, image, sound, and material assemblage.

This residency will give them time and space to return to work, ideas and experiments they have developed through their previous collaborations, bringing together some of the threads that have remained open or unfinished. They want to use this time to develop their practices further, particularly through working with physical and material forms, and to explore how their individual approaches can continue to inform each other.
