Rudy Loewe [they'them] is a multidisciplinary artist who blends painting, drawing, and sculpture to examine a complex web of socio-political dynamics. Through their work, Loewe brings to life histories unearthed through archival research and interviews. In 2025, Loewe will be the ninth exhibiting artist for the Art on the Underground Brixton Mural Programme. Their upcoming work will honour the historic role that Brixton has played as a gathering space, particularly for London’s black communities, adding another layer to Loewe’s ongoing exploration of culture, identity, resistance and collective memory.

Joy Labinjo [she/her] is a British-Nigerian artist whose large-scale figurative paintings often depict intimate scenes of historical and contemporary life, both real and imagined. She explores themes including but not limited to identity, power, blackness, race, history, community, family and their role in the contemporary experience. Key signatures of her work include fresh and arresting compositions of colour, pattern and motifs. Fundamentally, at the heart of Labinjo’s practice is a bold interest in storytelling and ultimately, people’s lives.
