Candice Breitz
Candice Breitz (Johannesburg, 1972) is a Berlin-based artist whose moving image installations have been shown internationally. Most recently, her work has focused on the conditions under which empathy is produced, reflecting on a media-saturated culture in which strong identification with fictional characters and celebrity figures runs parallel to widespread indifference to the plight of those facing real world adversity. She recently completed her ‘White Noise Trilogy,’ which she has been working on since 2015.
Solo exhibitions of Breitz’s works have been presented by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Tate Liverpool, Museum Folkwang, Boston’s Museum of Fine Art, Palais de Tokyo, Kunstmuseum Bonn, the National Gallery of Canada, Kunsthaus Bregenz, The Power Plant, Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and the Castello di Rivoli. Breitz has participated in numerous biennials including in Johannesburg, São Paulo, Istanbul, Gwangju, Göteborg, New Orleans, Dakar and Sharjah. In 2017, she represented South Africa at the 57th Venice Biennale, alongside Mohau Modisakeng.

Rayvenn Shaleigha D’Clark
Rayvenn Shaleigha D’Clark MA, FHEA, MRSS is a London-based digital sculptor whose work commemorates overlooked figures in the public realm. Her practice explores the complexities of race, representation, and digital hybridity in contemporary artt. She combines advanced digital technologies with traditional sculptural techniques, creating nuanced representations of anatomy and identity across both speculative and historical contexts.
In 2024, she unveiled Black Renaissance at the Freedom Monument Sculpture Park in Alabama - a landmark, multi-million-pound commission for an early-career Black female artist. In October 2025, she launched Mother Vérité, a landmark UK public artwork and the first statue to honour motherhood and postpartum experience in a city where only 4% of sculptures depict women. Commissioned by Frida Mom UK and supported by research led by Marine Tanguy (Founder and CEO of MTArt Agency), the project received widespread international media coverage, including British Vogue, CNN, Hypebae, Harper’s Bazaar, The Standard, Stylist, and The Guilty Feminist.
As founder of Sculptural Drawings Ltd., she has secured nearly £2 million for public art projects across the UK and the US.
In 2026, Rayvenn won the International Slavery Museum’s artist call to lead the artistic direction and development of iron panels for the new Entrance Pavilion. Selected from over 150 applicants, the panels will form the visible ‘skin' of the pavilion, transforming iron - once used in chains and manacles and deeply embedded in the infrastructure of transatlantic slavery - into a material of remembrance and resilience.
She is represented by MTArt Agency.

Leni Dothan
Dr Leni Dothan is an artist, architect and researcher based in London. Blending her skills and knowledge, Dothan is dealing with the overlooked representations of women and especially mothers in art history and contemporary culture, as well as eco-political urgent subjects. As a mother to a boy living away from her birth home, she creates sculptures, photographs, videos and installations that suggest new narratives other than the ideal iconography of a mother-and-child relationship. With her works, Dothan touches on the less discussed and underrepresented aspects of the mother and child relationship, by doing so, she questions social norms and political structures.
Leni Dothan has exhibited her work in museums around the world, including The Jewish Museum in London, MAMbo Museum in Bologna and Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain Occitanie in France, as well as galleries, including Richard Saltoun Gallery, Hå Gamle Prestegard in Norway and Arnolfini Gallery as part of Hayward touring exhibition Acts of Creation.
