Bryony Gillard (she/her) is an artist, curator and educator and a PhD Candidate at University of Plymouth (School Art, Design & Architecture). Situated between writing, workshops, performance and moving image, her practice reflects on events, states of being, materials and organisms that refuse or resist normative capitalist structures and temporalities. This can include thinking with/through grief, sickness or erotic autonomy, engaging with materials such as sewage, seaweed or auto-fiction and working with genealogies of feminist labour that are elusive, messy and entangled in contemporary concerns. Her current research centres the politics of waste — as matter both in and out of place.
She is currently working on a solo exhibition entitled Outfall, opening at East Quay (Watchet, U.K) in September 2025, touring nationally in 2026/27. Recent projects in 2025 included a commission with Focal Point Gallery (Southend), a residency with Rame Projects (Cornwall) and a performance and essay for Mirror Lamp Press (Dublin). Her work has been commissioned and presented on a variety of national and international platforms including ESTUARY (Kent), Holden Gallery (Manchester), Jerwood Arts (London), Playbill (Amsterdam), Cinema Maison at BB15 (Linz), Ocean Archive Programme at TBA21 Academy (Venice), Tate St.Ives (Cornwall), Arnolfini (Bristol), The Royal Albert Memorial Museum (Exeter), FLATLAND Projects (Hastings) and Turf Projects (Croydon). She is a lecturer on MA Fine Art at University of Gloucestershire.
