FVU New Takes is a partnership between Film and Video Umbrella and Arnolfini, presenting the work of six early-career artists working with moving image over the spring and summer of 2026: Mahdy Abo Bahat, Anna Engelhardt, Hantao Li, Morisha Moodley, Jameisha Prescod and Lucy Rose Shaftain-Fenner.

 

Each of the FVU New Takes artists offer a bold and inventive approach to storytelling and form, addressing many contemporary themes including ‘the global climate crisis, crip filmmaking, body politics, state violence, archival memory, and contemporary trans+ and British culture’.

 

In this event, the artists will be in conversation with FVU Director Angelica Sule and Arnolfini’s Head of Exhibitions Gemma Brace, discussing their work and their experience as emerging artists working in the UK today.
