'I’ll Still Be Here When You Return' is a moving image work that explores the space between sleeping and wakefulness during a chronic illness flare-up. Inspired by the artist’s personal experience with illness and disability, this film questions the emotional impact of living under systems that place great importance on the ‘productive’ bodies whilst ignoring and even demonising the sick ones.

If in Warsaw: Imran Perretta's FVU-commissioned work '15 days' features as part of the artists' first solo exhibition in Poland, "All of Us or None", at Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art 🎬

'15 days' is rooted in the artist’s time spent in northern France with people displaced after the dismantling of the migrant camp near Calais – known as the ‘Jungle’ – in 2016. The camp had provided temporary shelter for thousands of people from Sudan, Afghanistan, Eritrea and Syria, fleeing war, persecution and economic instability. Perretta focuses on the experience of prolonged suspension, placing fragile temporariness at the centre and emphasising the dignity of those living on the margins of Europe’s political reality.

To accompany our current feature on , 'I'll Still Be Here When You Return' (2026) by Jameisha Prescod, you can read a newly commissioned text by writer, editor and filmmaker Celestine Fraser ✨

'I’ll Still Be Here When You Return' is a moving image work that explores the space between sleeping and wakefulness during a chronic illness flare-up. Inspired by the artist’s personal experience with illness and disability, this film questions the emotional impact of living under systems that place great importance on the ‘productive’ bodies whilst ignoring and even demonising the sick ones. Point cloud animations made from 3D scans of the artist’s bedroom during a post-surgery recovery period dissolve into one another while a deceivingly calm and meditative voice-over drifts between thoughts of pain, memory, isolation and mortality.

📝 Celestine reflects on 'I'll Still Be Here When You Return' and a journey through isolation, recovery, intimacy and relapse; before arriving at the unexpected forms of connection and meaning that emerge from living ‘in between’.

If in Sheffield: Lucy Rose Shaftain-Fenner's FVU-commissioned film 'Tgirls Make Music' (2026) will be screening at Showroom Cinema as part of Freak Film Club on 23 July ✨

'Tgirls Make Music' is a documentary about trans woman rapper and producer htmljones (Ishaani Ponniah), framed through the visual language of early-2000s television, 2010s internet aesthetics, and contemporary British culture.

The core of the work is an interview with htmljones hosted by trans woman and director Lucy Rose Shaftain-Fenner on the fictional ‘T4T (Trans for Trans) Network’, edited to replicate a TV talk show format and interspersed with htmljones’ live musical performances. The conversations captured during the interview are intimate and direct, split up by regular bumper ‘ad breaks’. Across the work, questions of trans, le***an and furry visibility, self-representation and cultural memory are held open rather than resolved. The work considers who is included in archives, who is left out, and how trans people document their lives - approaching transgender history as something lived, messy and continually in progress.

'Tgirls Make Music' will be followed by q***r cult film 'I Saw The TV Glow' (tickets sold separately).

It's the final weeks to see 'Sideweighs and Backwords' by Morisha Moodley in Bristol! ✨

Using a monoprint printmaking technique to recreate archival footage, 'Sideweighs and Backwords' forefronts the imperfect action of memory. In opposition to the immaculate reproduction of traditional print and digital media, human memory is exposed as a verb – a constant recreation of a sequence of events, a story we tell ourselves. The story told here is a movement between homeland and a new home, a constant traversing of terrain and terms.

Making this journey is an ill body, in splendour and dishevel. It is a body that places both language and narrative at stake. Displaced and mismatched text, accompanied by sound mirroring disordered thinking, means that access to the film is not easily negotiated. Ultimately, 'Sideweighs and Backwords' offers a series of choices to its audiences, and invites them to decide how it is experienced.

Now open in London: Hantao Li's 2026 FVU-commissioned film 'Giants’ Anatomy' features as part of the group exhibition "From The Land" at Proposition Studios ✨

'Giants' Anatomy' explores the uncertain future of decommissioned North Sea oil platforms. Blending real footage with CGI, the film imagines their possible afterlives, tracing the environmental legacy of the offshore oil industry beyond extraction.

The exhibition "From The Land" brings together works that examine the relationship between architecture and the living world. The projects approach architecture as a moment in a broader material flow, one that begins in the landscapes where resources are sourced, passes through the built environment, and ultimately returns to the earth. In doing so, they ask what it means to build with an awareness of what came before and what will remain: the soils disturbed, the habitats displaced, the carbon released and the matter that persists long after a building's useful life has ended.

Now open in Newcastle 📣

FVU-commissioned works 'Undead Sun' (2014) by Jane & Louise Wilson and 'Feed Me' (2015) by Rachel Maclean (6 minute excerpt) feature as part of a new exhibition, 'Lines of Action', at Hatton Gallery alongside storyboards and preparatory drawings made by Georgina Starr for her FVU-commissioned film 'Quarantaine' (2020) 🎬

The exhibition explores how artists utilise the ‘line’ in its most expanded sense as a central part of their creative process. Rather than focusing solely on preparatory sketches, this exhibition examines the ‘line’ as an organising principle. It highlights how artists use the line to provide structure, create ‘scores’ for subsequent works, record actions, and open spaces for memory. ✨
