2025/05 Shanzhai Lyric – Incomplete Poem (Scent)
Shanzhai Lyric (est. 2015) is a body of research focusing on radical logistics and linguistics through the prism of technological aberration and nonofficial cultures. The project takes inspiration from the experimental Englishes of shanzhai t-shirts, mostly made in China and proliferating across the globe, to examine how the language of the counterfeit uses mimicry, hybridity, and permutation to both revel in and reveal the artifice of global hierarchies. Through an ever-growing archive of poetry-garments, Shanzhai Lyric explores the potential of mis-translation and nonsense as utopian world-making (breaking) and has previously taken the form of poetry-lecture, essay, and installation.

2025/04 Elida Silvey – Chemotaxis on a Zebra Crossing
Elida Silvey is a self-taught Mexican-American writer, editor and artist living in London. Her work is concerned with post-internet visual theory as it relates to the concepts of reality, time and 'the self,’ experienced through (collective) memory. She regularly writes in experimental forms about this topic on her Substack, Through the Eye of a Needle. She is the assistant editor for Montez Press and runs her own writing/visual arts club called Exteriors.
2025/03 Eilidh Duffy – Beauty from Below: Heaux Cosmetics and the Power of Pheromones
Eilidh Duffy is an editor, researcher and critic who is obsessed with dress and the body and its relationship to social and political upheaval both historically and in the present day. She’s written a fair bit for style titles in the UK (how she makes most of her money) while producing essays for journals and galleries (for less money but significantly more fun). She edits-slash-curates the fashion history journal-slash-project Bog (@bog.100) which is currently ‘on ice’ while she finishes her MA in the History of Design at the RCA/V&A. One day she will make a website where you can see all of her work in one place but for now she is working out how to make one.
