Every two years, the Arts Territory Exchange selects artists to work with intensively, promoting their work and supporting them in producing an exhibition event or publication.

The artist 2022 - 24 is Sarah Le Quang Sang.

SLQS is a Franco-Vietnamese artist living in East London. Her work is provocative:questioning the politics of space and who is excluded from it. She reclaims space by immersing herself and others in the public realm. SLQS makes and holds space as a woman, a person of mixed heritage, a foreigner, a mother, an artist and an equestrian. She invites her audience to decolonise spatial orders from imperialist, sexist and racist structures.
