Artists Shanaz Gulzar and Steve Manthorp have shared an artistic co-practice as ADEPT since 2004.

Both artists have established solo practices which inform and enhance their collaborative work.

Shanaz is a digital and installation artist and stage designer, working across disciplines to make innovative and challenging interventions.  Steve is an artist, curator and an innovator in digital practice.

Through their early work together, ADEPT developed a conceptual and imaginative approach that is responsive to site, social and historical context.  From early gallery-based work, ADEPT have progressed to large scale public video projections, installations and performative works.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
