Baroque Anarchist + Natasha Muluswela
Baroque Anarchist is the alter ego of Alexandra Suvorova, a London-based, visual artist, who sees striking parallels between the contemporary moment and the Baroque epoch, which she mines for artistic guidance and inspiration. Born in the 1986 Chornobyl Disaster, the artist has always been fascinated by the quest for immortality through science and art, and the vulnerability and strength of the body.
Natasha Muluswela is a visual artist whose intricately detailed drawings explore body positivity whilst simultaneously shaking off the white gaze. Another facet of her work is the exploration of the human condition of migration and what it means for Africans to take up space away from the Diaspora. Challenging her views on not only Africa’s political past and present but its potential and future through art.

Reflections on peer to peer mentoring
Baroque Anarchist
I am thrilled to be a part of the Peer to Peer mentoring program. It has not only inspired me but also ignited my creativity. The opportunity to learn from and collaborate with my peers is invaluable and I am excited to see where this experience will take me. I am grateful for the guidance and support provided by the program, and I look forward to the growth and development it will bring.

Reflections on peer to peer mentoring
Natasha Muluswela
During the peer to peer mentoring one thing I kept in the back of my head was collaboration. As we develop as artists it’s key to have that support and community as most of us spend a lot of time creating alone. The peer to peer mentoring groups brought me a community without judgement. The community and honesty that the group provided, is much more than art, it makes being an artist more human. In addition, the professional development mentoring was invaluable, the advice and knowledge I have had insight to is priceless.
