EQT London is located in the heart of Soho. With a rich history, eclectic communities, and broad social and cultural diversity, our curation for EQT tells the story of this global creative hub. Showcasing some of the most exciting creative talent currently working in London, this collection highlights the business's unwavering commitment to sustainability.
Based on EQT's core values, Artiq curated a bespoke collection comprising a mix of leased and purchased works as well as an artist residency, presenting London's most exciting emerging artists with diverse practices rooted in environmentalism, materiality, identity, and digital innovation.

Our team had the pleasure of working with Studio Stockholm and Barr Gazetas on this project from the get-go, immersing ourselves in their vision for the space to ensure the architecture, interior, and art would sustainably and seamlessly merge.
For the inaugural residency at EQT London, local artist James Rogers was selected to create an immersive installation for The Exhibition Plaza that celebrates the implementation of emerging digital technologies into the art-making process; a node to EQTs mission to ensure that they, and the EQT funds’ portfolio companies, are digital leaders in their respective industries.

EQT's residency programme allows selected artists to create new commissions that reflect their values, strengthen their office culture and empower the EQT brand. A tailored programme of events and workshops surrounding the artist residency has also offered their team members new and innovative ways to engage with their art collection.
Thanks to EQT's dedication to supporting local talent, this rotating collection supports a growing roster of artists whose unique stories and perspectives can be discovered around the building.

Aisha Seriki is the artist selected for the second residency in the EQT Exhibition Plaza, which will be on show throughout 2024 and into 2025. Addressing global social issues, Aisha's practice explores the history of photography and its relationships with truth, time and the black body.
Alongside her photographic practice, Aisha created a series of bronze ‘ìyarun’ sculptures that are informed by the comb’s relationship with African diasporan histories. Through these works, the comb surpasses functionality and becomes a cultural symbol of empowerment, ritual and self-care.
In May 2024, Aisha won the V&A Parasol Foundation Prize for Women in Photography, and selected works from this series were exhibited at the 8th edition of the contemporary photography festival Peckham 24..
