Joana Simães
Visual Artist
Joana Simães is a visual artist from Felgueiras, a small town in the district of Porto, Portugal. After studying Fine Art in high school, Simães moved to London in 2020 to pursue a degree in Fine Art at Middlesex University, graduating in 2023.
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.

Verityblythe
I am a London based designer and final year fashion student at the University of Westminster.
My designs simultaneously challenge and exaggerate gender and identity through strong silhouettes and sculptural corsetry. I predominately work with dead-stock fabrics and incorporate unconventional found materials into my work. I love to create bold and dramatic looks and take a lot of my design inspiration from historical sources.

King Kuda
“We’ve never liked the idea of being ‘just another indie band’,” say King Kuda. The Brighton-based four-piece, whose sound has evolved from classic indie numbers to incorporating “creamy guitars, big hooks, and hypnotic grooves”, first met at university and started jamming in the living room of their shared house. Their 2018 debut single Wildflower’ was packed with spangly guitars and wistful vocals, and now boasts almost half a million streams. New banger, ‘Bloodstream’, however, is reminiscent of electronic artists Dusky and Bonobo, who the band count as recent influences on their sound as well as indie gods, Foals.
