Art Identity and Belonging, Becky Lyon

Explore how coming into relationship with nature can lead to narrating your own sense of ‘belonging’.

Becky will be exploring how coming into relationship with the soils, waters, skies of the British Isles on your own terms and through your own sensing body can be a practice for circumventing unwelcoming and harmful power structures and narrating your own sense of ‘belonging’.

Becky Lyon is an English-Jamaican artist working at the intersection of art and ecology. Her practice dwells in the sticky places between sensing bodies, tactile processes & the touchy-feely, earthly curriculums, power relations, word-world building, softness & slippery edges as rebel strategies, concrete-ologies and ecology as a “sourcebook” for co-flourishing.

She makes installations, rituals, objects and moving images. She is founder of Ground Provisions – an artist-led, schooled-by-the-forest for grown ups and the Squishy Sessions research collective. She has an MA Art & Science, MA Art & Ecology and BA Fashion. She is a volunteer London National Park City Ranger and side-hustles as a consultant and researcher for global brands.
