Meet the artists:
ALQUMIT ALHAMAD @alqumit
Alqumit Alhamad (b. 1992, Jerash) is a Syrian artist based in Sweden. He received a Master’s degree in Fine Art from HDK Valand in Gothenburg, Sweden (2024), a degree in Visual Communication from Östra Grevie Folkhögskola, Sweden (2022), and a
Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and animation from the Aleppo University of Fine and Applied Arts in Syria (2014). He is currently based in Gothenburg and has exhibited in Sweden and internationally, including in the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, the United States, and Syria. His process is shaped by his lived experiences of being a war refugee, cultural dislocation, and identity. His work explores themes such as rootlessness, diaspora, war trauma, and memory.
EVANGELIA (EVA) DIMITRAKOPOULOU @d_mtrk
Evangelia (Eva) Dimitrakopoulou (b. Athens, Greece) is a London-based sculptor and multimedia artist whose work explores themes of Otherness, disconnection, and care. Their sculptural installations combine olfactory, edible, and sensory elements to engage viewers in immersive, participatory experiences.
Their installations engage the senses with soundscapes and scents, transforming familiar objects and settings into eerie, unrecognizable manifestations that prompt audiences to navigate intricate, unpredictable systems.
Eva holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London, and an MFA and BA in Sculpture from Athens School of Fine Arts. They were the 2020-2021 recipient of the Goldsmiths ACME Early Career Award.
NINA MOULIN & TONI STAKENKÖTTER @ninanoutchka @gin_tonia
Since Toni and Nina met in 2021 during a workshop in Aix-en-Provence as part of their studies,
they have been working together as a Franco-German artist duo.
With painterly and installation-based interventions, they create dreamy spaces to reflect on domesticity and artistic clichés. Their work as a duo is fundamentally linked to their trust in each other, the
way they talk and exchange about art, the sharing of ideas, the describing, reshaping and layering
of their images.
