Join us for a new edition of Open Studios on Saturday 12 September 2026 as we open our doors for an afternoon of discovering, discussing and hearing about the works-in-progress our residents have been developing during their time in London. At 2pm and 4pm, all five artists will give short presentations, offering insights into their practices and research at Gasworks. Dina Mimi is an artist working in experimental film and moving image, exploring how, and when, bodies become sites of resistance. Often using found footage to explore themes including smuggling and tactics of movement, her work adopts non-linear forms of narration. She approaches editing as an open and exploratory process, experimenting with the opacity of footage – images that are “in the act of vanishing.” Dina Mimi's residency is supported by Gasworks’ Palestinian Residency Patrons Circle. Eve Tagny ’s multidisciplinary practice weaves together lens-based media, performance, writing and research into site-specific installations that explore narratives of grief, resilience and nature. Recent projects have investigated the aftermath(s) of the privatisation, commodification and exploitation of nature, land, resources and bodies. Eve Tagny's residency is supported by B Street Collaborative in collaboration with The Canadian Art Foundation. Fatima Kaleem Khan ’s practice investigates ‘discipline’ as it weaves through the home, the school, and the soap opera in Pakistan. Her practice attends to how these feminine-coded sites converge at the military-industrial complex, which maintains deep stakes in both education and media. Working primarily in drawing, she reworks stills from television and institutional social media to explore the friction between drama and discipline, referencing the ‘fabrication’ of state-sanctioned virtue through materials like fake hair, collage, and embroidery. Fatima Kaleem Khan's residency is supported by the Charles Wallace Pakistan Trust and the Rangoonwala Foundation.
Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
