Over Exposed Featured Artists

Anna Schlimm

I am an artist interested in uncommon modes of cultural production. My work takes many forms, is often collaborative and hopes to address urgent topics while insisting on joy and wonder. I co-founded holobiont, a creative organism working with others to shift our cultural ecosystem towards social and ecological balance. I also teach on the MA Design for Social Innovation & Sustainable Futures at University of the Arts London, where I lead a unit focused on cultivating a creative practice that imagines pathways towards collective liberation.

Em BW

I am  artist, designer and creative producer. I design spatial-narrative experiences using screen-based media, sound, text and Fulldome 360 projection. My work centres female voices and experiences aiming to engage an audience with less spoken about issues. I am particularly interested in how mental health and design connect.

I am also the co-founder of Syrup Projects, a feminist social design studio that uses story-telling and co-design to create exhibitions and experiences that make research accessible. Alongside this I am a lecturer for UAL.
