Che Applewhaite is an artist, filmmaker and writer. He facilitates engagement with how ongoing histories interfere with intimate, difficult and collective experiences. His works combine analogue and digital media in hybrid documentary forms. These works embed listening as both practice and ethic of invention, embracing the pain of change and honesty that James Baldwin taught us loving ourselves and each other requires.

Che Applewhaite has presented work at Transmediale (Berlin, 2023), Museum of Contemporary Art (Cleveland, USA, 2023), Cubitt Gallery, (London, 2022), and the National Gallery of Art (Washington, USA) 2022.

Olukemi Lijadu is a visual and sound artist who works with the moving image, philosophy and music. Lijadu DJs under the moniker Kem Kem. She uses the power of cinema to take viewers on audio-visual journeys of reconnection across the Atlantic. Lijadu approaches music as a living archive of communal memory and lost connections - critical given the history of the Black diaspora worldwide.
