SILVA COCO 2026.
Silva Coco is a London-based artist, designer, and creative director whose work spans fashion artefact, publishing, video, and event-based practice. 

She is the founder and editor of Plates of Meat magazine, an independent publication operating across print, film, and live formats to document and provoke contemporary youth culture.

Alongside editorial and video work, her practice includes an ongoing material investigation into footwear and bodily artefacts, using processes such as casting, mark-making, and complex construction to explore repair, identity, and ontological instability. This research-led approach sits in tension with commercial and collaborative projects, allowing experimental making to inform applied design contexts without collapse into branding or spectacle.

2025THE MAGIC THEATRE

Silva Coco, Freddie Bannister, Zolforosso
Venice

Exhibition

246 x 292 mm
522 pp. Softcover


THE MAGIC THEATRE - was curated and produced just outside of the Venice Biennale period, presenting Freddie Bannister’s work within an international, independent exhibition context. Collaborating with venice based artist collectice Zolforosso, The exhibition centres on a glum British skyline—muted, peripheral, and emotionally charged—set in deliberate contrast to Venice’s saturated historic backdrop. This tension produces a sense of intrigue and longing, positioning British youth culture as introspective rather than spectacular. Operating through decentralised collaboration and publishing-led curatorial practice, the project foregrounds peripheral landscapes and informal networks as sites of cultural possibility beyond dominant institutional narratives.
