Yesterday in London, Dom Art Projects brought together artists, curators, scientists and guests for our Art & Science Breakfast.

With artist Elena Nemkova Elenix_Nemkova_studio and Greger Larson, Director of the Paleogenomics & Bio-Archaeology Research Network in the School of Archaeology at Oxford University, the conversation explored how scientific research and cultural imagination shape our understanding of the world beneath our feet — and how artist practice can bring new perspectives to what remains unseen.

Thank you to Elena Nemkova, Greger Larson, and everyone who joined for their thoughtful contributions and questions. Our special thanks to Dr Polina Surina and the Aki London team for their collaboration.

Boundaries and Breaches is a solo presentation by Sara Masinaei Sara Masinaei | سارا مسينايى , featuring a new body of work developed during her residency as part of the Dom Art Projects Studio Support Program Dom Art Projects.

The Dubai-based artist examines the relationship between urban space, memory and lived experience. Her work focuses on the surfaces and structures that shape everyday movement, considering how they retain traces of use, change and loss.

Through found objects and imprints of urban surfaces, Masinaei explores the interaction between the body and its surroundings. She places canvas directly on the ground and applies her bodyweight to produce each imprint, recording an encounter between the artist and the material environment.

On view until 18 October 2026.
