The core of Joana´s work goes from classically executed figurative oil paintings to more graphic paintings with the use of flat colors and less shading, onto hard surfaces in various sizes. Inspired by artists such as Goya and Michael Borremans, Simães explores the subtleties of human experience through both painting and, on occasion, video art.

My name is Charlie McMahon and I am a fashion and textile designer from the North East of England. My work is inspired by rural textile traditions and bringing them into a high fashion context. My most recent project is inspired by a series of nightmares I had as a child featuring the painting ‘Miss Wong’ by Vladimir Tretchikoff, which hung in my living room when I was growing up. Inspired by the paintings vivid colours and the subjects piercing stare, I have made a wardrobe of clothes for this nightmare woman. Featuring over the top colours and prints that swarm around the body and unconventional silhouettes and pattern cutting, in order to emulate the disorienting feeling of being in a nightmare.

I’m Tyagi, a DJ and producer who refuses to pick a lane. Why should I, when I love Pop’s hooks, R&B’s soul, House’s groove, EDM’s energy, and Jungle’s raw, breakneck rush?

Behind the decks, I take you on a ride—silky vocals one moment, a rolling amen break the next. No genres, just feeling. In the studio, I blend warmth and chaos: think an R&B topline over a House beat, then an EDM drop that hits like Jungle.

I don’t believe in musical borders. I believe in a dancefloor that moves as one—surprised, alive, and free.

Remember the name. Let’s journey.
