Born 1982 in Nairobi, Kenya.
Lives and works in London, UK.

Phoebe Boswell utilises immersive combinations of drawing, animation, sound, video, performance, and text to delve into migrational upheavals, dualities, exaltations, and silences. During her residency at URDLA in April 2022, Phoebe Boswell was introduced to lithography, a medium through which she expanded her oeuvre. The experience of learning a technique that was completely new to her continued the artist’s search for language to convey voices and stories that, like her own, are often marginalised or overlooked. These six lithographic self-portraits, based on photographs, sit somewhere between work diary and autobiography.

Also on view at the Fagor factories and in The many lives and deaths of Louise Brunet at the macLYON.
