About the speakers
Eva Langret is Director, EMEA for Frieze, where she leads on Frieze London and oversees all Frieze initiatives in the region. Passionate about championing emerging artistic talent, she is the Vice Chair of the board of the Camden Art Centre, a place for world-class contemporary art exhibitions and education, a trustee of Fluxus Arts Project, a not-for-profit organisation created by the Institut français du Royaume-Uni, and a trustee of Forma, a London-based non-profit organisation supporting emerging and mid-career British and international artists.
Michaela Yearwood-Dan (b. 1994) lives and works in London. Her practice builds spaces of community, abundance and joy through large-scale painting, works on paper, ceramics, and site-specific mural and sound installations.
Her distinctive visual language draws on Blackness, queerness, femininity and healing rituals, weaving together art historical references and pop culture.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; and Palazzo Monti, Brescia. It is held in collections including the UK Government Art Collection and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
