Gallery Open Thurs 9th April - Sunday 12th April, 10am - 3pm.

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.

Their work is influenced by traditional crafting methods and creative traditions across the Caribbean diaspora, drawing on these references as a foundation for contemporary artistic experimentation.

This residency will establish the next chapter of their ongoing collaborative project The Art Of, following their previous Art of Resistance residency. The new project, The Art of Sound, will take place alongside the Jazz Stroud Festival and will explore the visual language of sound through installation and material practice. The residency will culminate in an exhibition of found objects, graphic design, photography, and assemblage that reflects on rhythm, improvisation, and diasporic creative traditions.
