Artist Interview - Michelle Eistrup

Michelle Eistrup (b. 1969, Denmark) makes art that incorporates themes of identity, corporeality, faith, memory and post-colonialism, with her transnational background (Danish, Jamaican, American) frequently serving as a point of departure. She traverses varied artistic expressions that include photography, drawing, video, sound and performance, all integrated into a practice led by the spirit and a strong belief in the transformative potential of collectivity. Rooted deeply in a vibrant global arts community, she has exhibited internationally and organised events facilitating in-depth dialogue and between artists, writers and curators to encourage a more integrated, sensitive and equitable creative exchange.
