Shamica Ruddock

Acme X OSE Fellowship
2022/23

Working predominantly between sound and moving image, Shamica Ruddock’s practice is primarily concerned with speculation, fiction and folklore. Considering the ways Black diasporas are engaged and explored through sound, Shamica has been particularly interested in how black technosonic production functions as a form of speculation, narrativising and worldmaking.

Acme X OSE Fellowship

As part of Acme’s 50 opportunities for 50 years and in partnership with Open School East (OSE), the inaugural Acme x OSE Fellowship intends to create links between artists at different stages of their careers and explore the benefits of knowledge exchange.

During this six month work/live fellowship at Acme’s Fire Station building, an OSE alumni artist will be actively involved in mentoring three early career artists on the Acme Alternative Pathway Awards.
