Artist Feature with Studio Member Elizabeth Wewiora
This month we’ve been catching up with studio member Elizabeth Wewiora to ask what she’s been working on in her socially engaged arts practice.
Elizabeth Wewiora is a creative practitioner, curator-producer and educator. Most of her work takes place outside of the gallery, working on short and long-term residency projects, across health, social housing, justice, learning, heritage and environmental settings. Elizabeth works mostly in photography and video, but she is also interested in the expanded notions of what photography can be, often playing with traditional or alternative materials to produce work.
Projects and residencies included in this video; Photographer in Residence for 'The Peoples River Project', with Manchester Histories (current); 'Ferry Folk' cross-site exhibition at Museum of Liverpool & Open Eye Gallery commissioned by Merseytravel and supported by Arts Council England (2018); 'Dressing the Space exhibition' - artist residency with University of Chester (2019); 'Border Bound' residency for the Studio Boat project, supported by Arts Council Wales (2018) and 'Allotment Diaries', Bradley Fold Allotments, South Manchester.
