*Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, Viren Neel is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for retro-rock."

I am a singer-songwriter hailing from Trinidad and Tobago. I've always had a profound love for music from the 1960s to early '70s so I decided one day, after loads of covers, 10 years of guitar playing and a little bit of singing and writing experience, I'm going to make them for myself. My first song, Change, released in 2020 quickly became the 5th most listened to song on Apple Music in Trinidad and my life as an artist has been a notably thrilling one ever since. Though I typically say my music is era-based, if I had to say what genres I cover, it'd be folk, soul and rock with writing that pulls from my Trinidadian perspective. I so can't wait for you all to hear me at Farrago!

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.

Tess is a visual artist with a strong foundation in acrylic painting, who began her creative outlet during lockdown. She has since begun exploring mediums, including digital, mixed media and more.

The themes of mortality are central to many of her pieces, using colour and subject matter to convey this duality, reflecting in the equilibrium between chaos and tranquillity, the natural balance of the universe, and with visual elements that blur the line between reality and the unknown.

Tess aims to expand and push creative boundaries in any way possible. With a mixed background, she looks to include heritage and culture into her works, and therefore reinforce the values of inclusion and connection too, encouraging unity and shared experience among all who engage with the arts.

Mahima Chaudhury is a 22-year-old, multi-disciplinary Artist and Art Manager based in London. Her artworks are a glimmer into her life experiences and the complex emotions she's associated with those moments. Mahima toes the line between illustrative realism and abstract surrealism so that the viewer is able to relate to her art literally and metaphorically. Her art embodies euphoric surrealism and through the use of perspective, she forms a relationship between her environments and dream-like concepts. Mahima’s inspirations derive from her perception of people, abstract forms of communication and her identity diaspora; she takes from her experiences and reinvents them into a more beautiful version of their realities.
