New moving-image works by Hannan Jones and The Camelia Committee (Mira Adoumier and Carine Doumit), developed through conversation and exchange over the preceding year.

Jones presents safe keeping, a new two-channel moving-image work commissioned by Market Gallery for Glasgow International 2026.

As part of the exhibition, the Market Gallery Committee have collaboratively written a text in conversation with the artists’ research, rushes, scripts, images, fragments and works in progress. The publication will be presented alongside the works in the space, and copies will be available to take away in exchange for a donation (of any amount) towards The Sameer Project.

Discussion 7pm

A selection of films followed by a collective discussion via zoom with artists The Camelia Committee and Hannan Jones, whom we are working with to develop new work across the next 10 months as part of GI 2026.

Together the films hold a thread of what belongs and what is displaced, things that turn up unexpectedly, get lost or buried; truth and fiction both held entangled in story and myth. They provoke us to question what hidden truths might come to the fore when the languages of cartography, genealogy, taxonomy and archeology are challenged.

In Summer 2025, Nottingham Contemporary will present Your Ears Later Will Know to Listen, a thematic group exhibition and associated live programme which considers how sound travels and transitions through cross-cultural identities, histories, and futures. 

Drawing on writer and cultural historian Saidiya Hartman’s methods of “foraging” and “disfiguration” the exhibition will feature sound as the leading medium to consider how artists have listened to and reimagined complex histories.

Shamica Ruddock and I will be performing live July 25th.

Here is some of the team of ‘ The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessing’at the BAFTA screening for the nomination of best short film.

 Theo Panagopoulos' film "A Scotland-based Palestinian filmmaker discovers hidden footage of his homeland's wildflowers. Inspired by this rare archive, he embarks on a journey to recover and preserve this precious visual heritage."

Very proud to have contributed the sound design to this film which continues to move from strength to strength through large and smaller community run screenings internationally.

A collective exhibition with and around Sonia Chiambretto
with Ouassila Arras, Agata Ingarden, Hannan Jones, Samir Laghouati-Rashwan, Luna Mahoux, Josèfa Ntjam, Fanny Souade Sow, Virgil Vernier.

Curatorial accomplices: Victorine Grataloup and Camille Ramanana Rahary, assisted by Léo Ferreiro

Co-production: Friche la Belle de Mai; supported by Fluxus Art Projects. Partnerships: Actoral, Bi:Pole / Le Bon Air, Parallèle.

Twenty years after the urban riots that represented one of the most significant events in recent French history, Triangle-Astérides invites author and poet Sonia Chiambretto, whose poetic writing multiplies points of view by composing creative texts, testimonials and archival documents; addressing issues of socio-spatial segregation, structural racism, as well as emotions.

The collective exhibition will feature artists close to Sonia Chiambretto and new collaborations, revolving around the set of her play Oasis Love which will be the setting for a range of different interventions (readings, performances). Like a spring, I will be many will follow the thread running through the play: “the poetic motor of Oasis Love lies in the meaning of the word ‘riot’, literally: ‘to create emotion’.”

Performed reading by Sonia Chiambretto (with Lawrence Davis) for the opening, Friday February 7 at 6pm at Panorama (free admission, no reservation required).

still from Dear F (2023), Hannan Jones An exploration of the multifaceted and unified nature of British identity. Using camcorders, letters, and analogue memories, these films compose fractions of stories set in rural geographies and trace immigration heritage. From folkloric rumours of gigantic cats, whimsical Elvis impersonation and digital re-examinations of systemic segregation, these films speak from the heart of British identity - collecting stories from all over the nation to paint a cross-cultural, contemporary portrait.

We combine odes to eccentric British humour such as Piece of Cake and My Dad and the Volcano, and traverse the day-to-day of immigrant heritage in Journey Mercies and Dear F... discovering intimate, nostalgic records of regional history.

Above all, this programme seeks to celebrate British cultural self-consciousness within the filmically manifold.

Perspective(s), is an ambitious Welsh arts programme, that brings together seven ethnically and culturally diverse artists with a connection to Wales, working in collaboration with all seven Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales sites and visual arts organisations nationwide.

Perspective(s) examines hidden histories within Wales’ national museums, from Welsh Plains used to clothe enslaved Africans to the lavish red sofa of Robert Clive, a figure central to British colonialism in India. The programme tackles complex and painful legacies; it rethinks the past to pave the way for a more inclusive future, one that acknowledges the diverse contributions and experiences that have shaped Wales and the world.

Hannan Jones, Artes Mundi and National Roman Legion Museum in 'A Frontier in Depth' investigates how shifting boundaries influence our understanding of identity and place. A trilogy of short films, beginning in the National Roman Legion Museum's subterranean archive, pictures displayed artefacts that embody multiple narratives, raising questions of how these items shape collective memory and fragmented histories. Expanding outward, the second film is driven by soundscapes around us, while the third focuses on the celestial - a tool for navigation and governance throughout time. 

New clay vessels created through community engagement prompt meaningful reflections on the present and future, while a culminating site-specific soundscape, merges past and present to amplify imaginary potentials. Collaborating with young people from Newport Youth Academy, members of Roots Newport and River Folk Pottery resulted in a series of new clay vessels embodying reflections on the present and future.

The project will culminate in a new context-specific multi-channel soundscape within the Caerleon Amphitheatre, merging past and present to amplify imaginary potentials that could lie ahead. 

Keep an eye out for news about future launch events in January, plus film and sound installations and publications in spring 2025.

pass shadow, whisper shade brings together new work by the six participants in the 2024 Satellites Programme: Clarinda Tse, Emelia Kerr Beale, Hannan Jones, Josie KO, Katherine Fay Allan and Rowan Markson.

The title borrows from an Irish proverb, 'Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine', roughly translating as 'people live in each other’s shadows', or, ‘we rely on each other for shelter.’ Both a shade and a shadow, this kind of shelter encompasses the positive and negative aspects of being part of a community, living in the shadow of each other and our ancestors.

Across a range of distinctive and individual practices and media, the works signal something of the complexity of inheritance, raising questions of how we process and make sense of that which we inherit, the expansive multiplicity of legacies passed down by and through earlier generations – be that material, cultural, genetic or spiritual, wanted and unwanted – and how this informs how we inhabit ourselves and the world in the present day and into the future.

“Between any two possibilities there is darkness“ a workshop and screening.

‘Never assume or pretend to understand anything. We all know you don’t, just like we don’t.’

In this screening, moments in history are revisited and revealed, narratives are fractured and pieced together and structures of how things might be understood are challenged. Films have been selected for their uncertainty, introducing unease into what was presumed, what has been said and how things might have unfolded.

Programme:

Introduction: 10 mins

Maha Maamoun, 2026, (2010), 9 min

LUX Scotland is delighted to announce a new artists’ moving image programme. 

Between Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025, we will deliver a peripatetic festival in partnership with Dundee Contemporary Arts, the Pier Arts Centre and ATLAS Arts.  
Artist-programmers are: Hannan Jones and Miriam Mallalieu; Heather Andrews and Louise Barrington; Aqsa Arif and Hector MacInnes. Working with organisations and artists across Scotland, the programme focuses on collaboration and follows an itinerant model that prioritises sustainability, slowness and access.

‘Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps)’ offers emerging artists an opportunity to programme screenings and events as a way to explore and interrogate new ideas in a collaborative and supportive environment. 

Contextualising concerns within their practices alongside another artist-programmer, the programme will present works by local and international artists to audiences across Scotland.  The programme has been supported by programming training sessions by artists Emmie McLuskey and Morgan Quaintance.

The 2024 Oscillation festival is a reflection on form, format, and performance. The self-evidence of an active performance linked to music has been altered with the ubiquity of electronic instruments and forms of amplification, which has also resulted in a larger variety of concert formats. Yet, absence of activity on stage does not equate to an absence of performance: objects might take that role, everyday events can be framed to perform themselves, sounds may exist as forms in themselves. Degrees of reality morph, appear, and disappear.

As ever, the listener plays an essential role in this context, taking part in the interaction by allowing themselves to be immersed in the sonic experience and respond to the proposed formats. Each performance situation thrives on a certain formality, with codes of behaviour which are more or less implicit. It creates a space of appearance for both performer and listener, oscillating between immersive proximity and reflective distance, between the autonomy of subjective experience and a communal experience amplified by the formal situation. Forms are dynamic spaces to be inhabited by new relations.
 
Spaces influence the atmosphere and the aura of the moment. Formats serve to make what is happening legible for a public, and channel the chaotic and dynamic situation which emerges when music, performer, and listener meet. The interlacing of form, format, and performance generates listening attitudes which might be perceived as a mixture of distance, presence, or participation, depending on, or fuelled by the spaces and places they occur.

The Oram Awards is a platform for innovation in sound, music and related technologies celebrating and supporting the next generation of forward-thinking Women, Trans, Non-Binary and Gender Diverse artists working in this field in the UK and across the globe.

Named after Daphne Oram, one of the founding directors of the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop, the awards aim to build on her legacy as a pioneering electronic composer. With others she worked at the workshop creating music for the distant future, the distant past and inside the mind. 

Along with other women of the workshop, including Delia Derbyshire, Glynis Jones, Jenyth Worsley, Maddalena Fagandini and Elizabeth Parker, Oram played a vital role in establishing women at the forefront of innovation in newly emerging audio technologies not only in the UK but around the world.

In partnership with The Radiophonic Institute, PRS Foundation, the Daphne Oram Trust & the British Council, The Oram Awards is a platform for innovation in sound, music and related technologies to elevate the work and voices of women, Trans and Non-Binary and Gender Diverse music creators.

Screening at CCA Glasgow, Fabrica (Brighton), Royal College of Art (London), Nottingham Contemporary, and John Hansard Gallery (Southampton).

Join us in the gallery for a listening party to celebrate this year’s summer broadcasts project in collaboration with Clyde Built Radio. Each of the commissioned artists will present a revised and shortened version of their original broadcasts on Clyde Built Radio.

Unfolding through June – October this year, summer broadcasts was a series of four sound commissions by Hannan Jones, Sgàire Wood, Lydia Davies and Yulia Carolin Kothe, four Glasgow-based early career interdisciplinary artists currently working with sound, poetry, broadcast, or music. Responding to the increase in the foregrounding and programming of transient methods of working and interdisciplinary art practice within a contemporary visual art context over the last few years, this new programme at David Dale Gallery seeks to continue to support these practices.

The commissioned works responded loosely to the theme of broadcast as a site for connection and reflection, and were supported with mentorship from local community radio station Clyde Built Radio. They were also broadcast on Clyde Built Radio, who are based just up the road from the gallery in the Barras Market and are all now available to listen on our website and Clyde Built Radio’s archive.

second sights and infrared sprites is a tapestry of short films that delves into spirituality, energy, and belief. Revealing connections between realms, present moments and the ethereal unknown. 

All films foreground an element of research, ritual or rhythm, be that submerged, unseen, felt or subconsciously known. These landscapes are explored both through direct narratives, subtle gestures, and are grounded by the sonic sphere.

Each film, an offering or glimpse into the past and connections spanning various spaces and temporalities. second sights and infrared sprites is a programme that leans into liberation, parallel possibilities or realities, illuminating the many compasses we can choose to follow. Each film will have an improvised sonic response by Simone Searles.

This event is held in collaboration with Glasgow Women's Library

un Magazine 17.1 RESIST involved Shamica and I in conversation, you can read ‘Speculation is the Vehicle’ in print and online.

The 2023 un Magazines are guest edited by Bahar Sayed and Gemma Weston guided by interrelated themes that suggested a directional attitude — to push against; to pull towards. It was a pleasure to be part of and to bring to life ways of thinking together through text. We exist alongside wonderful contributors whose words and insight I’ve really enjoyed getting to understand and think through too. They are Aisyah Aaqil Sumito & Mossy 333, Elyas Alavi, Hana Pera Aoake, Mayma Awaida, Timmah Ball, Andy Butler, Marguerite Carson, Sam Elkin, HEAVY DUTY, Marnie Badham & Kelly Hussey-Smith & Nina Mulhall, Joana Partyka, Leila el Rayes, Jack Augustine Irvine Mitchell & Eliki Reade, Emily Morel & Amy Stuart, Olga Svyatova, Rebecca Suares-Jury, Megan Tan, and Ane Tonga.

Thank you very much to Bahar, Gemma, Un Projects and Azza Zein!

Anthology published by Park Press 


Blue Grey Haze is a sonic radiophonic composition by Hannan Jones . Beginning with a locked groove, serving as a rhythmic foundation that unfolds progressively and cyclically returns. It brings together poems and research elements, field recordings, and collected audio materials that undergo deliberate sonic shifts, amplifying the sense of constellations within composition whilst sitting in a state of flux bound by the locked groove.

Commissioned by David Dale Gallery and Clyde Built Radio
