We did a call out for artists who might want to be a resident for at least three months on our art zine to write or film guides each month. The guides can be written pieces or short videos, and would offer tips and tricks for using different materials, processes and ideas for making. The residency is for three months across three issues, with the opportunity to write additional pieces. This is a great opportunity for an artist to be our resident 'expert' to write short tips, tricks and guides as a residency opportunity.
They could be top ten tips, short guides or videos. The artist would be featured and could show examples of their work to demonstrate the guide.
This role can be expanded as we value initiative and creative thinking, so you can really own this and use this platform to promote your knowledge and ideas.

Our 4th Resident artist is - da:ze
Bio - I am a conceptual multi-disciplinary artist working under the artist name da:ze. I explore the effects of anxiety, loneliness and alienation and the means to keep the heart open to the world while acknowledging these isolating forces. In recent times I've been particularly interested in the ideas of home, God and the divine nature of human connection.
In my art I utilize all sorts of media depending on the idea and what tools and materials I have available. I fuse together writing, photography, textiles, sculpture, performance, etc. continuously learning to accept and harness this scatteredness.
Every artwork takes me on its own unique journey from a glimpse of divine inspiration, be it a line in a book or an overlay of patterns on the street, challenging me all the way to find the most appropriate form for it.

OUR 3RD ARTIST IN RESIDENCE IS - ANNA LI
BIO;
Anna Li is a Ukrainian-born multimedia artist based in the UK whose practice explores disabled embodiment, intimacy, and the politics of visibility through painting, performance, video, and writing.
Working from her lived experience as a wheelchair user, she develops adaptive painting methods that foreground uncertainty, softness, and the body as a site of knowledge.
Her work brings disability into dialogue with art history, sexuality, and public space, reframing limitation as an aesthetic and conceptual method.
