Born in 1977 in Madagascar, Joel Andrianomearisoa lives and works in Antananarivo and Paris. He finds his inspiration in space and time, in Madagascar and around the world. Each trip is an emotional experience, from which he returns with fabrics: he then cuts, knots, tears, superimposes, weaves and assembles them until they form an interplay of materials and stories.

Josep Grau-Garriga, who passed away in 2011, was born in 1929 in Sant Cugat del Vallès, near Barcelona. He was the great master of Spanish tapestry in the 1970s. 

The grandson of an anarchist hairdresser, and raised in a family of republican peasants, he watched in horror as a teenager when Francoism triumphed in the 1930s. His work would enduringly be marked by this experience.

Born in France in 1978, Laure Prouvost studied in London at Central Saint Martins and later Goldsmiths College. Winner of the prestigious Turner Prize in 2013, she now lives and works in London, Antwerp and a caravan in the Croatian desert. She represented France at the Venice’s 58th International Contemporary Art Biennial, in 2019.

The power of Laure Prouvost's work lies in her ability to explore universal and topical issues, and to express them in new artistic forms, in fictional videos and sensual immersive installations.

Here, Lily Hibberd has created a digital collage from two old photographs of the Sydney Observatory. Taken by Waterford on 6 February 1941, the photograph on the left shows Mary Allen and Ethel Wilcocks measuring astrographic plates. The one on the right, H. A. Lenehan at the transit circle, in 1907-1908 (anonymous).

A Franco-Algerian artist born in 1978, Mohamed Bourouissa endeavours to enable exchange and sharing with local communities. He is fascinated by urban utopias and the history of representation, and synthesises recurring questions: the appropriation of territories, power and transgression. 

Born in 1992 in Châtellerault, Tarek Lakhrissi is a poet, visual artist and performer. He developed a multifaceted artistic practice ranging from film to poetry, images, workshops and performances. 

Juggling French, Arabic and English - thanks to which he gained access to the American queer culture - Tarek Lakhrissi's work revolves around two main threads: language and fiction.
