Nicole Chui is a freelance embroidery artist and designer based in Hackney. Her embroidery art is described as messy, brash, and disruptive. She has worked with the likes of Converse, Nike, Gal-dem and Parlophone. In 2019, she was named one of the future faces under 25 by the Evening Standard. 

My work focuses on portraiture and intimacy between loved ones and objects. I want to show the tenderness that can be experienced in this world through selective simplicity and tiny details. With our current socio-political cliamte, I think it is important to recognize these often unnoticed moments in our daily lives, and to remember that they exist. My paintings help me move forward openly, by presenting what is good in our world. I'm also part owner of Pilgrim Paper Co. -- a paper goods company based in Seattle, where I currently live!

I am visual artist working between video, installation, and fiber arts, living in Florence, Italy. I am also the co-founder of Creative People in Florence, an international community of artists, designers, artisans, and creative thinkers with the aim of fostering collaboration, promoting our members’ projects, and activating the contemporary arts in Florence.

Laurence Philomene is an emerging photographer from Montreal, working around themes of queerness, colour and gender identity.
