We are excited to announce the artist taking part on the Studio Residency across the month of December 2024.

Isaac Harris is a writer and multimedia artist from Virginia whose practice interrogates cultural and historical narratives through fiction. Their work explores themes of memory, the absurdity of Black identity, and the fluidity of power, focusing on narratives set around the greater Black diaspora in the Atlantic world.

Isaac is the author of Blaxploitation Burner Tape (Waterwings Press, 2023) and Ghetty Gospel (Ethel Zine, 2021, US; Peanut Press, 2021, Scotland). Their debut novel Le triomphe de reine Negre will be published in 2025 by Ge Hinnom Small Group Love Press. Recent writing and art has appeared in Deleuzine (2023) and in exhibitions, notably at the Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow for Francis Jones and Josie Perry’s The Thieves (2024), and was part of the group show, A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION IS NEEDED at MART Gallery, Dublin (2024). Isaac holds a degree in Linguistics and History from the University of Edinburgh and currently resides in Glasgow, Scotland.
