Umber Majeed
Speculative fiction, collage, and digital interfaces are recurring formal and conceptual tools in Umber Majeed’s interdisciplinary art practice. He draws on architectural design and historical events specific to Pakistan to challenge entangled notions of nationalism, community, and identity within the framework of the modernist nation-state. Majeed is particularly interested in the temporal disjunctures of South Asia’s urban landscapes, using them as a springboard to imagine alternative futures. In his work, video and digital interfaces serve to collapse the boundaries between drawing, familial analog photography, and widely circulated stock imagery.
Umber Majeed has exhibited work at the Queens Museum, New York; Pioneer Works, New York; and Hayy Jameel, Saudi Arabia, among others.

Markéta Adamcová
Markéta Adamcová views cities as symbolic spaces where personal and collective identities are continuously reshaped. Her work explores the intersection of personal narrative, poetic principles, and the spiritual dimensions of both natural and human systems.

Through this approach, she invites viewers to navigate the space between the intimate and the universal.
