Ruth Ewan
Ruth Ewan is a Glasgow-based artist whose pluralistic practice spans installations, writing, events, environments, and objects. Though varied in form, her works emerge from deep research and collaboration, often shaped through conversations with others. She is particularly concerned with creativity as a tool for social and environmental justice, alternative systems of knowledge, and how our relationships with plants, animals, and time shape cultural narratives. For over two decades, she has returned to these themes, creating projects that invite audiences to rethink history, standard time, and collective memory.
She has exhibited widely at venues including Tate Britain, Camden Arts Centre, New Museum, CAPC Bordeaux, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, and the São Paulo Biennial, and has developed public projects with Artangel, the High Line, and Folkestone Triennial. Current commissions include Everything Must Change (a permanent alternative time system in Gothenburg) and The Green Fuse (an urban forest and arboreal calendar for Stuttgart).
Her books include Twenty-Nine Thousand Nights and Liberties of the Savoy (Book Works). She has also lectured widely, created workshops across education and community settings, and her work is held in major collections including Tate, the Scottish Parliament, and the Museum of Modern Art Warsaw.
Lili Reynaud-Dewar
Lili Reynaud-Dewar is a French artist whose practice draws on her own life, the lives of her friends, her body, and literature. Working across film, installation, sculpture, and print, she develops a heterogeneous body of work that merges the personal with the political. After studying ballet and public law in the 1990s, she completed an MFA at the Glasgow School of Art (2001–2003).
In 2009, she co-founded Petunia, a feminist art and entertainment magazine. Since 2012, she has been professor at the Haute École d’Art et de Design in Geneva, where she has collaborated with students to form collectives and produce films, exhibitions, and seminars.
Reynaud-Dewar received the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2021 for her film installation Rome, November 1st and 2nd 1975, in which more than twenty of her close friends, collaborators, and students re-enact the final hours of poet and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. Between 2020 and 2023, she produced a 19-hour film adaptation of Pasolini’s unfinished novel Petrolio. She is currently working on her autobiography.
