The second edition of our two-part Artist Talk series titled “Architecture as Protagonist,” held in partnership with HQI,  will return to the Studio on Thursday 12 November from 17:30 – 20:00. 

HQI curates this series to celebrate current and past artists in residence who've come through White City Place. A resident artist moderates each talk, with a guest of their choosing for a conversation shaped by shared practice.

Architecture as Protagonist 

An exciting talk by Hannah Stewart and Misha Notley on turning environments from passive backgrounds into driving characters: designing space to be felt before it’s understood, using distortion as a form of truth-telling, and making artificial worlds – both physical and digital – feel real.

Meet the artists 

Misha Notley is a London-based CGI artist with a background in Art Direction working across music, fashion and commerce. Her work embodies a progressive design philosophy, frequently exploring future-facing and experimental visual narratives. Her artistic style blends digital surrealism with abstract storytelling, leveraging technology to create sophisticated visuals across a variety of environments. Her work includes projects for New Balance, Dior, Boiler Room, and many more! Her work has also been exhibited at Madrid Digital Arts Festival and London Design Festival.

Hannah Stewart is a Newcastle-born, Berlin-based artist and founder of TOR Studio working across sculpture, new media, and live spatial installation. Shaped by her upbringing in the north of England in the 90s – 00s, her work draws on the lived experience of the contemporary city to critique the politics that surround it.

The event will be held in the Studio, with doors opening at 17:30 and the artists’ talk running from 18:30–19:30.
