We are delighted to have Jun Rui Lo as our guest selector for this year’s show. Approaching art as an emotional response, they make and curate with an interest in identity politics and the aesthetics of ambiguity. Rooted in their gender non-conformity and diasporic experience, Jun Rui’s practice responds to the fluidity and rootlessness that arise from their refusal to be anchored to any fixed identity. Through their expanded-drawing and sculpture, Jun Rui creates allegories from everyday made strange—queered, in every sense of the word.
Become a Trustee
We are currently looking to recruit:
• a new Chair
• a new Trustee
to join the board of our charity.
Deadline: Tue 5 May 2026
We are looking for passionate individuals who are committed to supporting Bloc Project’s team to meet the organisation’s objectives and ambitions. We have recently carried out a skills audit of our current trustees and have identified a need for trustees with experience in finance and fundraising to help support the future sustainability of the organisation. Bloc Projects is committed to its board being representative of the communities in which we work and we therefore positively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and lived experiences from across the UK.
