We're excited to have fourteen artists join us at different times in June, July and August, for the Riso Residency.
Working across a range of different practices, the residency will offer the opportunity to use the space and risograph printers to develop work in new ways through the print process.
Meet the Artists
Spencer Hughes
Spencer Hughes is a Barnsley-based artist, whose work varies in social, documentary and landscape photography through the analogue format, and favoured medium – zines. Focusing on a little bit of everything, Hughes is currently developing a visual project which is attempting to blur the lines between Barnsley’s coal fields heritage and its current cultural landscape; reflecting on the fields of change and the relationship the younger generation holds with the Northern town in it’s post-industrial shadow.

Georgia Green
Georgia Green graduated from the Glasgow School of Art. Her painterly editions illuminate everyday spaces with a chimerical tangle of curiosity, memory and longing. As a printmaker, Georgia uses her art to unravel the interiors and landscapes she moves through and lives within. She dissolves and dramatises everyday rooms and corridors, questioning notions of intimacy, belonging and confinement through the glaze of domesticity.

Josh Williams
Josh is a graphic artist based in Hull. His practice investigates themes of identity and mental health, through typography and a playful approach. He’s drawn to experimenting with analogue processes such as screen-printing, Letraset typography, and collaging and photocopying found material.
Finding joy within these processes is the immediacy in which he can create work and make duplicates, each with its unique imperfections. These imperfections make each finished print individual and a reflection of their fast creation.
Rahman Taha
Rahman Taha is a freelance Yemeni photographer and filmmaker working in visual arts and cultural management. He works and resides in the UK. Rahman has been a photographer for 15 years, and his work has been exhibited at the National Museum in Sana’a, the British Museum in London, and the Arab House in Madrid. He has participated in joint exhibitions in various cities, such as Taiz, Beirut, Copenhagen, and Detroit. His work appeared in a number of international publications among them the New Yorker magazine, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Nafas Art Magazine, and Forbes. Rahman embraces an experimental approach in his artistic practice, exploring diverse forms beyond photography, including writing and collage painting. Through experimentation, Rahman continually discovers new ways to express narratives, blending mediums to push the boundaries of visual storytelling.

Feryel Kaabeche
After a bachelor’s degree from the Beaux-arts de Paris, Feryel Kaabeche developed a hybrid practice combining video, graphic design and installation. Her funny and sweet universe, saturated with colours, nourished by both internet culture and her Algerian heritage, claims a deliberately kitsch and overloaded aesthetic. Her practice reuses and diverges images always offset by a lot of irony: from this reappropriation are born new representations. Through her works exhibited at the Corvée, the Jean Collet municipal gallery, the ArtCade gallery in Marseille, and soon at the Louvre Museum, she aspires to create a common space of references and representations that meets an urgent need, far from the colonial gaze. She participates in many publishing fairs throughout France, including at Frac Marseille, the Agès B bookstore and more recently at the Palais de Tokyo. Devoted to evolve in these spaces, she took over the head of the Saint-Germain des prints association in 2024.
