Emma Stibbon RA works primarily in drawing and print on paper depicting environments that are undergoing transformation including the polar regions, volcanoes, deserts, coastal and urban locations. Her approach to landscape is driven by a desire to understand how human activity and the forces of nature shape our surroundings.  She does this through location-based research often working alongside geologists and scientists, and in the studio where information is transformed into large scale drawn and printed artworks.

Born and raised in London, Samia Dumbuya is a climate justice advocate empowering marginalised communities and young people to feel confident to enact climate action from a local to an international level by providing environmental and political education.

She is a freelance facilitator and consultant supporting organisations to enable communities to co-create climate action. She is also a UCL student, studying MSc Sustainable Resources: Economics, Policy and Transitions exploring ways to build climate resilience and Just Transition pathways for Most Affected People and Areas (MAPA).
