Ranging from experimental narrative filmmaking to work using game engines and artificial intelligence, the six artists selected for this year’s FLAMIN Fellowship feature a striking array of approaches to the moving image.

Ama Dogbe is a British-Ghanaian artist who builds video games, digital animations and audio-visual installations to explore autobiographical and utopian themes. Moving freely between digital and analogue media, from photogrammetry to painting, she takes an experimental DIY and collaborative approach to new technologies, producing unconventional outcomes.

Nia Fekri is a British-Iranian multidisciplinary artist and facilitator, working primarily with moving image, writing and performance. Her practice is driven by a need to capture the fragmentary and ghostly nature of immigrant experiences, familial relationships and intimate spaces.

With a background in philosophy, photography and dance, Gregor Petrikovič works with bodies and movement to engage with themes of human connection. His recent work brings together generative AI with a personal audio archive of friends, partners and acquaintances, creating a stream of synthetic images from remembered conversations.

Harmeet Singh Rahal is an artist from Mumbai, now based in London. In his work, he invites audiences to consider how stories shape our collective sense of self, community and belonging. Working against the grain of dominant narratives of Indian history and contemporary life, he uses a collage of moving image, performance, music, writing and tactile sculptural installations to create a new poetics of resistance.

Yv Shells is an artist, musician and screenwriter from Walworth, South London. In his practice, he bring marginalised perspectives into the centre, redressing historical power structures to redefine how we understand questions of identity in British society. His recent work has explored the DIY ethics of Black British music and the adverse effects of technology on global majority communities.

Xianyi (Andy) Zhang is a London-based moving image artist whose narrative-rich works are inspired by her experience of growing up in Shanghai. Her work looks at the contrary experiences of alienation and self-discovery experienced in urban environments, with a creative cinematic approach to visual form.
