OTHER Pt.1 Survival
& The Stories of Others

OTHER Pt. 1 Survival is an original exhibition of new work by the renowned East London printmaker and educator Aida Wilde, staged in collaboration with Nasty Gallery’s group show and public events programme “& Stories of Others”. Presented during International Women’s Day weekend and occupying the entire first floor of the building, this radical takeover is rooted in the long-standing feminist tradition of punk and DIY, echoing the spirit of Judy Chicago’s Womanhouse. A space for defiance, reflection, and collective expression, it transforms the space into a living, breathing site of resistance and reclamation.
Titled after the experience of always having to tick the ‘other’ box on forms and legal documents, this exhibition draws from the artist’s lived experience as a political asylum seeker, fleeing the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s and moving to the UK with her family. Comprising over 30 handmade textile banners that explore and question ideas around cultural commentary, belonging and identity purgatory, this is a de facto homecoming for Aida Wilde who started her career in Brick Lane.
Nasty Gallery’s “& Stories of Others”, is a 3-day residency by artists Paige Megan Hawley, CW Stubbs, Apparan, Lior Hatt and Boa Swindler, envisioned as a happening to run alongside the OTHER. The programme invites participants to explore themes of being the “Other”, belonging and resilience through artist surgeries, life drawing workshops, spoken word performances and mental health sessions.

The Crypt of St Pancras Parish Church, originally built for coffin burials from 1822 to 1854, offered an alternative to overcrowded village burial grounds while providing churches with vital revenue. Transformed in 2002 into a gallery space, the Crypt now showcases the imagination and emotions of 21st-century artists, welcoming visitors from around the globe with its year-round programme of art exhibitions.
New addition, in GINA SERIES,
STELLA, 100 cm by 100 cm, Acrylic on Canvas
Stella, part of the GINA series, reflects the intersection of spiritual awakening and digital transformation, inspired by the pioneering crypto artist Stella Belle. The central figure, depicted in neon hues with their hands in prayer, represents a symbolic plea for connection amidst the overwhelming noise of digital landscapes. The tears flowing down the figure’s face hint at a sense of struggle, vulnerability, and perseverance. The intricate, kaleidoscopic background echoes the dissonance between inner spirituality and the chaotic modern world, creating a bridge between the metaphysical and the digital realms.
The heart motif in the figure’s chest is an ode to Leonard Knight, the creator of Salvation Mountain, in slab city. When I had the opportunity to meet Stella in person at her solo show in Paris, STELLABELLE AU CARRÉ: at L'Avant Galerie Vossen she spoke of the impact seeing Leonard’s work had on her, and her ethical and artistic mission.
