Emma Campbell
Emma’s practice explores issues raised by the lack of abortion access and equality for women, trans* men and non-binary people on the island of Ireland. The stigma and secrecy combined with the attitudes fostered by colonialism and deep religious conservatism are dealt with in a variety of ways, inspired by practices employed by the women photographers in her historical research. These methods include; photography of direct actions, using the gallery space as an activist space, sharing her practice online to raise awareness, using collage, documentary and found images to produce work that fosters a sense of the structural inequalities that face women and pregnant people with decisions about their lives, using grounded research and embedded social practices, encouraging a democratisation of the creative process.
Emma has exhibited work in solo shows in Belfast, Dublin, Berlin and Stockholm and in group shows in London, Donegal, Dublin, Belfast and Bangkok. Emma began a residency in Array Studios in the summer of 2015 and became a full studio member in the Autumn of 2015, since then she has been part of their group shows and the open studios days. She has also been a member of the Home|Work Collective in Ireland and been a long-time collaborator with artist and activist Siobhán Clancy who is based in Dublin.
