Eva Jonas is a London-based visual artist, educator, and coordinator whose practice operates across multiple registers to examine how the body functions as a site of mediation in our experience, preservation, and enactment of landscape. Her work engages strategies of collecting, restaging, and intervention, often drawing on sculptural forms and research ephemera, such as instructional guides for creative and outdoor practices.
As an educator and coordinator, she engages sensory and enquiry-driven facilitation methodologies, foregrounding the generative potential of collective and networked knowledge production. Through creative place-making, she investigates how acts of observation and recording mediate spatial experience, fostering reflection on modes of inhabitation, documentation, and engagement with place.
Recent exhibitions include (un)common outcomes (Photoworks Festival, 2024) and a solo show, The Natural, Rural and Remote with the workshop Garden Recordings (Serchia Gallery, Bristol, 2023). Her first book, Let’s Sketch the Lay of the Land, was published by September Books in 2020.

The students are still talking about the workshop days later. It was such an engaging, inclusive, calm approach that ensured all of the young people could access it at their level.

The LGBTQ+ Photography Club was the first club I'd taken out of school and I was nervous but now it's like a second home - I count down the hours to the next one.
