We are very excited to announce
the ON::View Artists-in-Residence of Spring 2025!
Located in the heart of Savannah’s Starland District at Sulfur Studios, the ON::VIEW Artist Residency provides a free, high visibility studio space for an artist to complete a new project, to continue an in-progress endeavor, or to conduct research exploring conceptual, material, performative, and social practices. The studio’s large windows look out onto Bull Street, allowing the artists’ work to be on view to the community at all times. Sulfur Studios’ visitors and passersby on the sidewalk witness the artists’ process as it unfolds in real time, seeing all the steps involved from concept to final execution. Community events like workshops, performances, public art projects and artist talks, offer creative ways to interact with the public. The ON::View Residency supports artists from across the globe, working in all media and provides studio space, accommodations, and the opportunity to live, work and play alongside local artists in a vibrant community.
See below for brief Project Descriptions and Artist Bios.

Sierra King
Atlanta, GA
March 2025
Sierra King (b.1992) is a Southern Black woman whose words fall out of her mouth like molasses. An artist, archivist, and curator, she is interested in embodiment, memory work, non-linear timelines, southern colloquiums, musicianship and dark matter. King holds a BA in Art from Valdosta State University and is currently a Social Justice For Archivists Scholar at The University of Alabama in the Masters of Library Science and Information Program. She serves as the founder and principal archivist of Build Your Archive, a nomadic memory work lab for Black Women Artists, Cultural Workers Organizers and their communities. King’s interdisciplinary practice presents photographic and archival installations in site specific spaces that honor the land — how it’s being kept and preserved. While in Residence, King will utilize her own archival materials, journaling and personal practice to create a speculative narrative of herself – one that honors the present but also takes into account what her future self may look like.
Ainaz Alipour
Tampa, FL
April 2025
Ainaz Alipour (b. 1989, Iran) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the interplay between digital and tangible forms, emphasizing cultural representation in art and its potential to challenge power structures. Drawing from Iranian cultural imagery, she creates digital installations that integrate soft sculptures, utilizing local sewing crafts and embroidery from northern Khorasan. Alipour's work focuses on the dynamics and politics of bodies, engaging viewers through virtual reality and video installations that encourage physical interaction and challenge colonial representations. For her Residency, Alipour will develop a multimedia project exploring historical Iranian caravanserais, focusing on those constructed under the authority of female rulers. The project emphasizes the dichotomy between the andaruni (private spaces) and biruni (public spaces), reflecting how women’s contributions were often secluded or hidden.
Jana Marie Cariddi
Tallahassee, FL
May 2025
Originally from New Jersey and working in painting and ceramic sculpture, Jana Marie Cariddi creates internal landscapes that function as reflections of emotion, memory, sexuality and tension within the body. Her work has been exhibited internationally and throughout North America, and she has participated in Residencies in Germany and Japan. Cariddi received her MFA from the University of Madison-Wisconsin, and her BFA in Painting at SCAD. She is currently a Visiting Professor of Painting & Drawing at Florida State University. While in Residence, Cariddi will develop pieces for her exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art, which will feature sculptural paintings and a wall-sized installation of drawings that raise questions about our internal state in relation to our body and our surroundings.
ARTS Southeast + Sulfur Studios invite the public to welcome each artist and engage in artistic and cultural exchange. Each artist will have regular open studio hours for members of the community to drop in, see their work, and have the opportunity for collaboration.
