Syllabus IX – Artist Announcement

The Syllabus partners are delighted to welcome artists Jessica Ashman, Alex Billingham, romane courdacher, George Gibson, Umama Hamido, Natalie Mitchell, Betty/Chaoying Rao 饶超颖 / Femme Castratrice, Korallia Stergides, Symoné and Jonny Walker to Syllabus IX!  

Now in its ninth year, Syllabus is a co-designed, alternative learning programme that creates an environment of mutual exchange between the artists that is responsive to each cohort.  

Beginning in September 2026, Syllabus IX will be built around a series of intensive in-person weekend gatherings. The ten selected artists will collaboratively develop the curriculum with curators and artists from partner organisations, Syllabus Coordinator Freya Yeates and Syllabus IX Artist Lead, Harun Morrison. 

Syllabus IX is delivered in partnership with Wysing Arts Centre, Eastside Projects, Live Art Development Agency (LADA), PS², Site Gallery, and Studio Voltaire (Associate Partner/Alumni Gathering Host).

The programme is supported by funding from the Freelands Foundation.
