‘the system of interspecies communication: all are systems of mourning' - Paul B. Preciado, An Apartment on Uranus
The decay of contemporary digital archives, in which connections break down and decompose, posits a new experimental form of ‘preservation’. Artists Beau W Beakhouse and Sadia Pineda Hameed explore alternatives to the hegemonic, colonial history of archives conceived as centres of power, instead forming linkages that are personal, fragile or unfinished. This decomposing digital space will be shaped by and through research, text art and essay, to form relational and associative pathways.

Beau W Beakhouse is an artist, filmmaker and curator based in Cardiff. His artistic practice often returns to themes of language, land, the post-colonial, alternate histories and dreams via intersections and convergences. He has upcoming residencies with Tangent Projects and Jerwood UNITe (g39) and a forthcoming solo exhibition with Arcade/Campfa.
Sadia Pineda Hameed is an artist based in Cardiff, Wales. She works in film, installation, text and performance to explore collective and inherited trauma; in particular, the latent ways we speak about this through dreaming, telepathic communion and secrets as an anti-colonial strategy inherent to us. She has shown work with The Bluecoat, MOSTYN, HOAX, Peak and others.
Together Sadia & Beau run the small press and curatorial project LUMIN
The Online Residency is supported by Art Fund and Arts Council Northern Ireland.
