Aisha Miller
Also known as Jamila or Amila, is a Black multidisciplinary artist from Atlanta, Georgia, now based in Brooklyn, New York. Her practice moves between music, photography, and pole dance, with a focus on photography.
She began working with cameras in middle school and later explored portraiture with a Canon T3 gifted by her mother. While studying Fashion Marketing and Management, she continued developing her photography through both digital and analogue practices.
Drawn to the texture and intimacy of 35mm film, Miller works across film and digital formats to explore community, identity, vulnerability, and love. Her first large-scale body of work, The Untitled Love Project, reflects over a decade of photographic exploration and considers love as a form of liberation and resistance.
Lewanna Kanarek
Lewanna Kanarek explores oil painting as a space for intimacy, expression, and transformation. Through self-portraiture, she reflects on inner states, deep emotions, and the quiet movements of the soul.
Her work is rooted in a symbolic and organic visual language, often drawing on animal and botanical metaphors. These forms give shape to dreams, vulnerability, and the subtle transformations of the inner self. Each painting becomes a sensitive mirror, where body, nature, and spirit meet.
Asuman Tarım
Asuman is a multidisciplinary artist with a background in graphic design.
She graduated with honours from the Department of Graphic Design at Yeditepe University’s Faculty of Fine Arts in 2010.
Building on a strong foundation in visual language and design, Tarım expanded her practice through ceramics and sculpture, developing a broader engagement with material, form, and the plastic arts. Her work brings together design sensibility with a tactile approach to making, moving between image, object, and surface.
She has participated in art fairs and group exhibitions internationally.
Iva Troj
Dr. Iva Troj is an award-winning contemporary artist whose work merges Renaissance aesthetics and oil painting techniques with postmodern approaches. Her detailed compositions use light, shadow, and dreamlike imagery to challenge cultural norms and explore questions of beauty, power, and perception.
Born in Bulgaria during the final decade of communism, Troj began her fine art training at a young age and received her first fine arts degree at seventeen. She later completed further studies in the United States and Sweden, earning two BA degrees, a master’s degree, and a PhD in art history.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Saatchi Gallery and the Louvre, and is held in collections across Europe, Asia, and the United States. She has received several awards and nominations, including the Gerety Award, the Towry Best of England Award, and Contemporary Art Excellence Artist of the Year.
Peggy Blood
Blood is an expressionistic painter whose work has been exhibited across four continents. Her paintings are held in permanent collections including the US Embassy in Monrovia, Liberia; the National Center for the Study of Civil Rights and African American Culture in Montgomery, Alabama; and the Beach Institute Museum in Savannah, Georgia.
Her work has been shown internationally at the Kolkata Centre for Creativity, the Edgar Negret Museum in Bogotá, and CICA Museum in South Korea. She has also been selected as a visiting artist through the US State Department’s Art in Embassies programme.
In 2023, Blood was a special guest artist at West Bund Museum, Harmony Art Gallery, the US Embassy American Center, and New York University’s Shanghai campus.
