Ella Fitzgerald

Discipline:

Multidisciplinary Artist

Location:

London/ Teeside

ABOUT:

"Ella Fitzgerald is a multimedia artist from Teesside, currently living in London, who's work concerns the role of Northern working class dysfunctional family dynamics in relation to their upbringing in the digital age. Criticising, exploring but yet appreciating the ideals and struggles working class youth are brought up in vs their role in the modern art world. Their work has recently became more focused on themes of identity politics portrayed through the medium of costume, makeup photography, performance, video, AR and digital. Their work concerns itself with themes of gender identity by questioning the binary, as well as themes of class inequality and queerness through exploring speculative futures of societies structures through a queer working class lens.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
