We’re excited to announce the first artists of Proposition Studio’s new Biodiversity Fingerprint Residency 🌱 with our first residency partner Central Saint Martins, UAL.

The residency is a new platform connecting emerging artists from leading art and design universities with experimental studio infrastructure — supporting cross-disciplinary work at the intersection of art, science, materials, architecture, and biodiverse farming.

The central questions we ask are: what are the relationships with non-human living things which make us who we are? How can the Anthropocene become an age of ecological abundance?

Our inaugural residents are graduates of the MA Art and Science programme at University of the Arts London, currently in residence at Bethnal Green Studios (March – end of May 2026):

In response to the prevalent concept of ‘Carbon Footprint’ and its corollary of ‘Biodiversity Footprint’ we conceive a progressive approach that focuses on the immense potential for human beings to have a positive impact on biodiversity and our planet’s ecology. Whereas “Carbon Footprint” focuses on our unintentional negative impact, “Biodiversity Fingerprint” focuses on the potential for intentional positive impact.

If we do not have awareness of the potential for positive ecological impact, and only emphasise our negative impact, then human beings are conceived of as inherently damaging to our planet and the focus can only be turned towards minimising damage.

If we are in the age of the Anthropocene, then low negative impact is not a sufficient aim. We must have a dramatic positive impact, so as to change course from ecological catastrophe.

🌱 CURRENT EXHIBITION 🌱

KEYSTONE SPECIES brings together thirteen artists based in Proposition’s studios whose work engages with the idea of keystone species: organisms whose presence has a disproportionate influence on the abundance of life in their ecological region.

When these species disappear, entire systems can collapse; when they are present, the world around them flourishes.

The exhibition takes this ecological principle as a point of departure for reflecting on interdependence, responsibility, and the potential for positive impact. How can we create our human world to co-operate with and mimic keystone species?

Across performance, painting, film, sculpture, writing, sound, and installation, the artists @__owen__bennett__ , @jennifer.crouch , @hincapiendo , @lisagornick, @jolenesaurus , @zoemarden , @ferguspolglase, @katherinepogson, @olhapryymak , #NinaRoss, @nwakuba_designs , @venturinomal and @tyroneisaacstuart approach the idea of keystone species in a multitude of tones.

ARTWORK AT THE FRONT OF BUILDING AND FAÇADE

By @janescobieartist in collaboration with @sophiemarritt Originally commissioned by @lincswildlifetrust

Jane Scobie is one of three artists selected for the inaugural 2026 Proposition Studios Biodiversity Fingerprint Residency, in partnership with University of the Arts London: Central Saint Martins Art and Science MA. @artsciencecsm

Works:

The Listener, Jane Scobie (2025)
Great fen-sedge, Common reed and Bulrush woven around a willow frame. Stroke the reed pelts and pop your head inside to smell the marsh and hear sounds of Oyster Catchers calling on the beach. The Listener invites us to imagine non-human deliberation, shifting attention from documentation to reflection, from evidence to imagination.

Oyster Catcher Soundscape, Sophie Marritt (2026)
Wash, Lincs - Norfolk. The recording starts with the flight call of a single Oyster Catcher flyover at Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve, then merges with the sounds at RSPB Snettisham as high tide approaches. Thousands of Oyster Catchers lift off from the mudflats and fly to the lagoon beyond the shingle beach. It’s very noisy!

Oyster Catcher Platform, Jane Scobie (2026)
A version of a platform created by Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust to protect nests from flooding during storm surges which are becoming increasingly common as sea temperatures rise.

Skybar, Jane Scobie (2026)
Look up to spot the nests on the building façade.

Want to join us on a tour of a pioneering biodiverse farm on Apr 27th?

Wakelyns Agroforestry is an oasis in a desert of conventional industrial agriculture. For 30 years it has been a beacon of hope showing how human beings can increase biodiversity and support ecological resilience in the process of producing delicious food, energy, fibres and building materials.

Created by the world renowned plant pathologist, plant breeder and pioneer of agroforestry Prof. Martin Wolfe, Wakelyns has led the way for the adoption of the integration of trees, crops and animals in farming systems. The biodiverse farming at Wakelyns has brought species back to Suffolk which haven’t been seen in generations, such as nesting turtle doves.

It has informed UK and EU government policy and inspired researchers, academics, farmers, bakers and plant breeders from across the world. BBC Good Food Award winners Hodmedods (2017) and Small Food Bakery (2018) sprung from the work at Wakelyns.

Prof. Wolfe was a founding trustee of Proposition and always emphasised the importance of visiting Wakelyns in person. Come and join us to see for yourselves the magic of how a farming system can make human beings a Keystone Species.

We will be going to Wakelyns together in a coach from London in the morning of the 27th Apr, there are still spaces left, completely free of charge. RSVP via our website Whats On page.

You can read more detail about Prof. Martin Wolfe's work here:

In our current group exhibition, Keystone Species, the artists trace pathways toward ecological abundance, where making becomes a practice of reciprocity within the worlds we inhabit. Introducing three of the thirteen artists whose work deepens our understanding of these relationships and explores ways of living in harmony as a foundation for shared prosperity.

📷 1. tyroneisaacstuart is a London-based interdisciplinary artist whose work is a hybrid concoction of mediums, including but not limited to song, dance, text & installation. Some works are highly solitary, and some are deeply collaborative. Regardless, all are informed by multi-layered processes & facilitate a dialogue around diasporic experience, industry, intergenerational brokenness, and movement systems.

📷 2. Alex Hincapié is a performer and community organiser based in London. Elements of their practice consist of textiles, soil, clay and wax to create site-specific installations, usually set in queer underground environments. They employ craft making and participatory games to bring people together, celebrate queer identities and personal stories.

📷 3. Siena Venturino-Malcherczyk is a London-born multidisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. Her practice is deeply informed by the migration histories of her Italian, Irish, and Polish heritage, shaping an ongoing investigation into identity, displacement, and belonging.
Through constructed, in-between spaces composed of soft sculpture, architectural interventions, and tactile materials, Venturino-Malcherczyk invites audiences to physically and psychologically navigate layered narratives. Drawing on familial stories, oral histories, and inherited cultural fragments, she examines how identity is shaped across generations and how feelings of estrangement or rootedness are embedded within both the body, mind, and the built environment.

📷 1. tyroneisaacstuart is a London-based interdisciplinary artist whose work is a hybrid concoction of mediums, including but not limited to song, dance, text & installation. Some works are highly solitary, and some are deeply collaborative. Regardless, all are informed by multi-layered processes & facilitate a dialogue around diasporic experience, industry, intergenerational brokenness, and movement systems.

📷 2. Alex Hincapié is a performer and community organiser based in London. Elements of their practice consist of textiles, soil, clay and wax to create site-specific installations, usually set in queer underground environments. They employ craft making and participatory games to bring people together, celebrate queer identities and personal stories.

📷 3. Siena Venturino-Malcherczyk is a London-born multidisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. Her practice is deeply informed by the migration histories of her Italian, Irish, and Polish heritage, shaping an ongoing investigation into identity, displacement, and belonging.
Through constructed, in-between spaces composed of soft sculpture, architectural interventions, and tactile materials, Venturino-Malcherczyk invites audiences to physically and psychologically navigate layered narratives. Drawing on familial stories, oral histories, and inherited cultural fragments, she examines how identity is shaped across generations and how feelings of estrangement or rootedness are embedded within both the body, mind, and the built environment.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the opening of Keystone Species. And thank you to the Keystone artists within the group exhibition 🌳

Across performance, painting, film, sculpture, writing, sound, and installation, the artists @__owen__bennett__ , @jennifer.crouch , @hincapiendo , @lisagornick, @jolenesaurus , @zoemarden , @ferguspolglase, @katherinepogson, @olhapryymak , #NinaRoss, @nwakuba_designs , @venturinomal and @tyroneisaacstuart explore the idea of keystone species, organisms whose presence exerts a disproportionate structuring force within an ecosystem, shaping biodiversity, trophic relationships, and resilience.

Moving between scientific and speculative approaches, the works reflect on care and the ways materials and living systems interact.Together, they invite reflection on interdependence and the conditions that allow complex ecologies, human and more-than-human, to flourish.

We’re pleased to introduce three more of the thirteen artists presenting work in Keystone Species, an exhibition at Proposition opening on March 26.

📷 1. Katherine Pogson is a multispecies art researcher whose expanded practice spans textile sculpture, creative writing, moving image, and performance collaboration. Her work examines human relationships with constructs of ‘nature’, exploring the power dynamics of interspecies encounters while foregrounding ethical questions around environmental responsibility, damage, and repair.

📷 2. Dr. Jennifer Crouch is an art–science practitioner working across sculpture, textiles, installation, and image-making. Informed by a background in physics and medical illustration, their practice brings together scientific inquiry and material experimentation to explore the multi-scalar nature of embodied knowledge.

📷 3. Fergus Polglase draws on childhood memory, subconscious reverie, and woodland storytelling to create uncanny visual worlds. Androgynous figures and chromatic compositions populate his paintings, where fairytales and nightmares coexist within a performative process that often extends beyond the canvas.
