Home Residency – Rosie Roberts – 2026

We are thrilled to announce the artist taking on our Home Residency from January – May 2026.

Rosie Roberts is an artist, writer and editor. Her practice focuses on making space for divergent thinking and conversation. Collaboration is central to the work she produces, starting with a shared question or observation that is then explored more deeply through development and production.

During the residency Rosie will be exploring mad studies and activism. She will be writing and drawing from both her own experience and the voices (past and present) of those that confront and challenge standard approaches to mental spectrums, who advanced new structures of meaning and who promoted anti-sanist/anti-ableist approaches to living. She is currently interested in the space art offers to rehearse disalienation.

Rosie uses various tools to make work such as: collage; Bernadette Mayer’s writing experiments; free association; experimental film techniques; sound recording, choreography, through feminist archives and with the imaginary tactics of feminist science and speculative fiction. Her works often ask what it means to make artwork—given a state of poly crises—with integrity and feeling that moves beyond nihilism or cynicism.
