As part of our Studio Residency series, audiences are invited to see works in progress developed by artist Aya Momose, during her residency at Camden Art Centre.

Residency artist Aya Momose practice explores the complexities of communication and language as she considers questions of gender and sexuality.

Addressing the body and its relationship to others, her work grapples with pervading perceptions of societal norms and the invisible structures of oppression.

For her end of residency open studio, Momose invites audiences into her studio space giving them the unique opportunity to see works in progress developed over the course of her residency alongside screenings of some of her recent film works.
