Hot Plate - Soup PtVIII Residency: Final Group Exhibition Artists Talks

Stryx presents the final exhibition of this years residency programme, bringing together new work by Tegen Kimbley, Gugan Gill, Maya Davis-Stokes and Hadis Ensafi.Working across photography, painting, installation and publishing, the artists explore ideas of place, identity, perception and lived experience.

The exhibition reflects the diverse approaches developed during the residency, from Kimbleys portraits of Digbeths local community, to Gills contemplative, garden-inspired bookwork, Davis-Stokes expressive paintings examining distortion and power, and Ensafis immersive installation engaging the senses through light, sound and material.HOT PLATE: Soup Pt VIII offers a shared space for reflection, highlighting practices rooted in experimentation, process and evolving perspectives.Join Tegan, Gugan, Maya and Hadis for their artists talks from 5.15pm where they will be discussing their experience of the residency, the work they have made and next steps! This will be followed by a Q&A session with the artists - all in the beating heart of Digbeth , as part of First Friday!
