Our Connection to Water

Meet the curators

This exhibition was co-produced by The Collective Makers and Royal Museums Greenwich, and curated by Joseph Ijoyemi and Lison Sabrina Musset.

Joseph Ijoyemi is a Swedish Nigerian multidisciplinary artist and the co-founder of The Collective Makers. Currently he is studying for a Masters in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins of Arts UAL.

“Water is a resource that is often seen as a basic commodity," he says. "It’s a survival necessity and a daily need, but there is a deeply rooted meaning to water across many cultures."

Lison Sabrina Musset is a French-Brazilian visual artist and the co-founder of The Collective Makers. She is inspired by her journey through life and topics around self-identity, self-awareness and self-confidence. 

“We’re looking to explore how water impacts communities socially, culturally, environmentally, emotionally and spiritually," she says.

The Collective Makers was created in response to a lack of opportunity for emerging visual artists. They campaign to improve diversity within the art sector and to raise artist profiles.
