This week marks the start of .jpg's residency at FUTURES Hub in Amsterdam, where they will be developing their project "Health Hammer"

Yujie Zhou (they/them) is a visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland. Working across photography, Jacquard weaving, installation, video, and printed matter, they employ strategies of decoding, translation, and illegibility to enable fragmented, concealed, and erased histories and collective memories to persist. Drawing on the tension between their nationalist upbringing and systems of control, Zhou investigates how images, language, and collective memory are shaped under conditions of censorship and political power.

Want to see more? Stop by the FUTURES Hub on 30 September for an Open Studio with .jpg.

Introducing the FUTURES Research Residency.⁠
⁠
FUTURES is launching a new residency offering dedicated time for independent research within Amsterdam’s cultural context, alongside connection to FUTURES’ international network.⁠
⁠
Based at the FUTURES Hub in Amsterdam, the residency supports artists, writers, researchers and curators working across the visual arts.⁠
⁠
The residency is deliberately self-directed. It can provide space to develop an emerging project, pursue a line of enquiry, test ideas or allow a body of research to evolve without the pressure of a predetermined outcome.⁠
⁠
Residents determine the focus and direction of their research, with accommodation and workspace in Amsterdam and connection to the wider FUTURES network.⁠
⁠
Applications are open on a rolling basis.⁠

With , we hosted for a residency at the FUTURES Hub in Amsterdam, where they developed their project "*ME(MORIES)*" During their time at the Hub, we spoke with them about this latest research project:⁠
⁠
"I'm working on a mixed media body of work that is a critical visual interrogation of the Gomesi, tracing its complex journey - from its historical inception as a school uniform and colonial blueprint, to becoming the ultimate, unyielding image of a dignified Ugandan woman." - ⁠

We’re proud to be hosting Pride Photo for a residency at the FUTURES Hub in Amsterdam. As part of this collaboration, we’re excited to welcome Papa De to the Hub, where they will be developing their project “*ME(MORIES)*”.

DeLovie Kwagala (aka Papa De) is the first openly non-binary q***r photographer from Uganda. An award winning visual artist and film maker, their art is a defiant stance against the colonial gaze, aiming to dismantle stereotypes around beauty, gender identity, and the fetishisation or victimisation of Black and q***r bodies. Through self-taught, multi-disciplinary visual storytelling, Papa De documents and archives African q***r youth, exploring themes of identity, belonging, migration, displacement, and climate justice.

Want to see more? Stop by the FUTURES Hub on 20 August for an Open Studio with Papa De
