We are delighted to announce the participants of Satellites Programme 2022 following our open call and selection process earlier this spring.
Thomas is a Glasgow-based artist and curator. His work often focuses on complex questions concerning gender, race, sexuality and class, and centres around the challenging of societal power structures. Recent projects include The School of Abolition; You’re Never Done, and the Glasgow Seed Library.
Kaya is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Perth. Kaya works with analogue photography, film, writing and sound to explore the rose-tinted memories of working-class upbringings – her own included. Kaya has worked with Creative Dundee on the Full Picture commissions and held the position of Socially Engaged Artist in Residence 2021 at Mount Stuart, Isle of Bute.

He also explores the relationship between plastic and queerness.

We are excited to support these practitioners over the coming months. Some of the new works produced will be presented as public events, exhibitions, publications and workshops: watch this space!
About Satellites
Each year we invite emerging creative practitioners at a pivotal point in their practice to submit a proposal for our Satellites Programme.
Four creative practitioners based in Scotland will be selected to form a cohort for the 2022 edition of Satellites. The selected participants will engage critically with each other, engendering an environment of mutual support. Each practitioner will be provided with the resources and support to develop and produce one new work.
Four selected practitioners will each receive:
- £3000 artist fee
- £2000 research and production budget
- Support to produce a new work
- Participation in four facilitated group critical discussion sessions, two group retreats, plus studio visits and production meetings with the Collective programme team
- A dedicated critical response, produced to accompany the new work (this could be a text, talk, workshop, podcast etc.)
- Professional documentation of new work
- Events and workshops with the other Satellites participants
- In addition to the fee and production costs, Collective provide marketing, travel and access support
Applications were welcome from across the spectrum of contemporary art and creative practice including but not limited to: studio based, material (paint, sculpture, print, etc), photography, moving image, research, collaboration, curating, social engagement, activism, performance, writing, critical enquiry.
This year the selection panel for Satellites consists of artist Rabiya Choudhry, curator Sara Greavu, and writer and artist Jeda Pearl.
