We are delighted to present to you HEARTH- live sessions. HEARTH is a new endeavour for HYPE A.
Mobina Nouri is a cross-disciplinary artist whose practice reflects her personal history as a female
immigrant who left Iran to live in the UK and later in the US. Working across a variety of media, the artist
mines her country’s tradition of storytelling, often turning to Persia’s hand-drawn calligraphy techniques,
philosophies and mysticism to contemplate and reconsider the complexities which she bears witness to in the contemporary moment.
Explorations of the body, the self, gender, and unity are central to her practice which she approaches through a reimagining of linguistic and social schemas. Through the construction of densely detailed
visual narratives Nouri dismantles traditional value systems and foregrounds tensions in gender relations.
Her art is often produced in collaboration with internationally celebrated poets and photographers.
Nouri received her BA in Stage Design and MA in Product Design from Tehran Art University, Iran and
her PhD in Creativity Science from City University London, UK.
Mobina Nouri lives and works in Los Angeles, USA. Follow Mobina on Instagram @mobinanouri.studio & mobinanouri.com -
Tm Gratkowski received a BS and a BFA from UW. After attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Hochschule fur Angewandte Kunst in Vienna Austria, Tm moved to Los Angeles CA and received an MA from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI_Arc).
Although Tm’s education and early works are rooted in painting, drawing, his professional practice as an artist is based on using paper as his primary material to create collages, installations, and sculpture. Tm Gratkowski’s artwork is a form of visual data gathering. He aligns the act of looking with that of reading by using paper, images, and text to create a critical visual narrative about the culture
of information we live in today. Going beyond historical definitions, concepts, and contemporary art practices Tm pushes the boundaries beyond traditional collage as he beguiles everyday information by playing with image-as-text and text-as-image. His artwork is densely layered to construct a surface rich in patterns, images, text.
Tm Gratkowski’s work has been in over 100 magazine publications and has been the featured cover story. Tm has been in numerous museum and gallery exhibitions Nationally and Internationally and his work can be found exhibited in most major art fairs throughout the US and Europe. His work is also prominently featured in numerous public, private and institutional collections.

Callum Eaton is an artist from Bath based in London, England. (BA, Goldsmiths, 2019) He has exhibited at Carl Kostyál gallery, has worked under the steady mentorship wing of Oli Epp (PLOP Residency). His studio is based with Cell Studios, London and is currently on an art residency in Berlin during this recording.
"Street-side telephone boxes made all but obsolete by mobile phones and now regularly removed by councils and city planners, remain as reliquaries to unrelenting digital advancement. Coca-Cola vending machines replete with Warholian repetition expose Eaton’s labour-intensive like-for-like replication of on-demand appeasement, while elevators from the artist’s own studio space in the City of London retain eerie echoes of their former life ferrying bankers and business people. Employing that trompe-l’œil trickery popularised by French genre-painter Louis-Léopold Boilly – whose portrayal of overlaid sheets of paper was selected for the Paris Salon of 1800 – Eaton doggedly documents his everyday environment, each painting becoming a new piece of his Sims-esque city-building expansion pack.
And just as the artist is present in Jan van Eyck’s famed Arnolfini Portrait easter-egg or the secret self-portraits that Baroque-period painter Clara Peeters snuck into her still-lives, Eaton himself appears as both an apparition reflected in the door of a launderette’s Washeteria and the example images one might obtain from a Photo-Me self-service photo-booth. The artist as subject – as object perhaps – blurring the lines between the real world he inhabits, and the flattened substrata simulation that exists on the surface of each canvas.”

Alex Coma (b. Granby, QC, 1991) is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher and seeker. Following the traces of humanistic and symbolistic artists such as Joseph Beuys and Carl Jung, his work is a testimony of his inner life and Findings. He draws from the symbolic history of an elite and secretive class, borrowing on cryptograms, esoteric concepts and rituals found in the written legacy of ancient texts. Coma applies the logic and vernacular of the semiotician, following tenuous but poetic connections between his inner self and larger concepts that are said to exist on the spiritual plane.
Whether or not a particular connection can be proven is secondary to the kernel of truth that lies in the impulse to seek it. At the heart of his practice is a longing, or a prayer, for an essential truth that may never be told. Follow Alex on Instagram: @alexcoma.world & www.alexcoma.world for more. -
Karla Diaz is a multidisciplinary artist, educator who engages in painting, social practice, and performance. Using narrative to question identity and explore memory. Her socially engaged practice generates exciting collaborations and provokes important dialogue among diverse communities. In her painting introspection, splashes of color became figures and objects that transformed into scenes of domesticity and city life drawn from her upbringing in Mexico and Los Angeles. Personal memories, folklore, familiar iconography of her Mexican heritage, and American pop culture are intertwined in surreal compositions that consider family, loss, and the complexities of the Latinx experience in the United States.
Karla Diaz lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. She is represented by Luis De Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles. Follow Karla on Instagram @karla76 and luisdejesus.com gallery for more. Special mention: 18th St Arts Center & Irene Georgia Tsatsos (curator). -

Gina May Walter is a director, singer and performance artist equally at home on and off stage. Whether in classical operatic roles such as Frau Fluth in Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor (Nicolai) or Elektra in Idomeneo (Mozart), in more classical contemporary works such as the solo soprano in Micha Tangain's In Absentia (premiered at the Tischlerei of the Deutsche Oper Berlin), or in the wholly contemporary children's opera Kuck kuck im Koffer, Mathias Kaul (Junge Deutsche Oper) - her operatic stage craft and presence are undeniable. She transfers these skills to other stages as well, touring with her song partner Kunal Lahiry or her extensive work with music theater groups of Berlin's independent scene, such as gamut inc. (this is not a swan song, R.U.R. - Eine Roboteroper), Manos Tsangaris (Winzig), or with her home ensemble Opera Lab Berlin.Since joining the ensemble, she has extensively honed her acting, performing and vocal technique. Some of her memorable roles, Dolly Parton in Gunfighter Nation (Gardner), PT Barnum Humbug(Lang), Soprano 1 in Stimmung (Stockhausen) - a fully choreographed version in which she danced and sang harmonics simultaneously - have shown that Gina has multiple strings to her proverbial performer's bow. Opera Lab Berlin was the obvious partner for her directorial debut with HUM-AN Orchestra, a reinterpretation of Kagel's two-man orchestra for the non-binary, digital age. On digital platforms, Gina also has an intersectional feminist podcast, The Vagitators. Along with her co-host Mathilde Monge, also known as Barnaby Alive, she explores the pitfalls of absolute female power.
This theme is a common thread throughout Gina's work and informs her current commissions, a new project on Barbara Strozzi, a revival of the operetta Magna Mater with Tutti d'amore. Follow Gina on Instagram @ginamayloves -
