We’re excited to announce Maite de Orbe as our inaugural Artist Development Resident for 2026 💖
A Spanish, London-based artist working across photography, performance and moving image, Maite (
@maitedeorbe ) uses a visual documentary language as a lure into fantasy and world-making, centering intimacy, identity and the sublime.
Their residency will focus on research and experimentation, with public sharings throughout. Designed to support artists at pivotal moments, the Artist Development Residency supports process, dialogue, and new directions over fixed outcomes.
