HS6 MENTORS
Over the three years (including lockdown) each HANDSHAKE 6 artist developed work with research, experimentation, material and concept explorations, resulting in many ideas and models that need fine-tuning and testing.
This development is experimental and had the support of a personal mentor who at scheduled times was available for hard-needed dialogue, discussions, questions, and feedback:
Antonia Boyle with mentor Hanna Hedman
Aphra Cheesman with mentor Lisa Walker
Nina van Duijnhoven with mentor Manuel Vilhena
Jack Hadley with mentor Karl Fritsch
Fran Leitch with mentor Iris Eichenberg
Nikki Perry with mentor Attai Chen
Amelia Rothwell with mentor Mah Rana
Mia Straka with mentor Manon van Kouswijk
Simon Swale with mentor Gabi Schillig
Susan Videler with mentor Iris Eichenberg
Michelle Wilkinson with mentor Catherine Truman
Macarena Bernal with mentor Monika Brugger
