Rhea Storr

Job Titles:
  • Artist
Rhea Storr is an artist filmmaker who explores the representation of Black and mixed-race cultures. Masquerade as a site of protest or subversion is an ongoing theme in her work. So too, is the effect of place or space on cultural representation. On occasion she draws on her own rural upbringing and British Bahamian heritage. Rhea Storr often works in 16mm film; she considers that analogue film might be useful to Black artists, both in the aesthetics it creates and the production models it facilitates. She is currently undertaking a PhD entitled ‘Towards a Black British Aesthetic: How is Black Radical Imagination realised through 16mm filmmaking practices?' She is a co-director of not nowhere an artists' film co-operative, London, that has a particular focus on analogue film. She is resident at Somerset House, London and occasionally programs at Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival. She is the winner of the Aesthetica Art Prize 2020 and the inaugural Louis Le Prince Experimental Film Prize. She was educated at Oxford University and the Royal College of Art.

Winnie Herbstein

Job Titles:
  • Co - Programmed by LUX Scotland and
Winnie Herbstein's current research explores the gendering of labour and workspaces, particularly the building site, with a focus on how we can live differently by studying alternative living models present in feminist living spaces and sci-fi worlds. A conversation around power relations, specifically systemic power imbalances, is central to Winnie's interactions with materials and making processes. The objects and films she produces often present a challenge to gender stereotypes and expectations around who is (and is not) allowed access to certain skills or spaces. She has recently completed the Women in Construction course at City of Glasgow College and is a member of Slaghammers feminist welding collective. She was a committee member at Transmission Gallery from 2015-2017 and is a current nominee for the Margaret Tait Award. Recent solo exhibitions include, Studwork, House for an Art Lover, Glasgow International (2018); Riprap, Atelier am Eck, Düsseldorf (2018); Before I could speak, X spoke, Outpost Gallery, Norwich (2017); Soft Shoulder, SWG3 Gallery, Glasgow (2016). Recent group exhibitions include, Social Event (curated by Love Unlimited), Glasgow International (2018); Citizen w/ Runa Islam, Seamus Harahan and CAMP - Hospitalfield, Arbroath (2017); NSK State Pavilion - 57th Venice Biennale (2017). She was nominated for the Margaret Tait Award 2019. In May 2019, she will present a solo exhibition at Jupiter Woods, London.
