Joshua Donkor
Joshua Donkor (b. 1997, UK) is a British-Ghanaian painter whose work uses portraiture as a tool explore diasporic identities through multiple generations of family.
Although the subject matter of the work is deeply personal, the paintings connect and communicate to all audiences, allowing them to respond deeply to the images. The artists use of image transfers provides a crucial glimpse into the subjects defining memories and family histories. This allows the audience to almost trace the stories running through the individuals life.
Joshua completed the AFF Fellowship in 2020-21.
Delphi Cambell
Delphi Campbell (b. 1998) is a self-proclaimed “crippled, mad and queer” sculptor exploring the multifaceted self through figurative and abstract self-portraiture. Aiming to confront the limited and hegemonic portrayal of disability in popular culture, Delphi’s relationship with chronic illness is at the core of her artistic practice - and her doctoral research. Sickness and queerness align in her objects, allowing her to embrace multiple illnesses in the forms that may superficially appear as fun and frivolous; but are a more radical challenge in confronting the narrative of living in an othered body, and ideas of being 'normal’.
Delphi completed her Artists Futures Fund Fellowship in 2020-21.
