YARA + DAVINA make social practice artwork, creating ambitious public artworks that respond to site, context and audience. Unfailingly inventive, they use formats from within popular culture to make works which are accessible and playful. Using formats such as Arrivals and Departures boards, football, tea, to lollipop ladies, they root their works in the everyday, using a lightness of touch and humour to make works that are both poetic and universal.
A small selection of organisations they’ve created artworks for include: Yorkshire Sculpture Park, National Trust, Tate Modern and Tate Britain, Venice Biennale, BAM (New York), Somerset House, Manchester Art Gallery, Baltic, IKON, National Portrait Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, Delfina Foundation, INIVA, Camden Council, Studio Museum Harlem, The Victoria & Albert, London, ZKM (Germany), HIAP (Helsinki), Kaunus Art Biennial (Lithuania), Modern Art Oxford, The RCA, Arnolfini, National Maritime Museum, and the ICA.
