Sheila Ghelani is an artist of Indian-English mixed heritage, whose solo and collaborative performances, social art works, installations, texts and videos seek to illuminate and make visible the connections between identity, ecology, science, history and the present day. Since 1995 her attentive, detailed and care ‘full’ practice has been cross-pollinating ideas, materials, people and places in order to un-settle dominant narratives and make space for those that are in-between, on the edge, in the middle, at the border.
“A Restorative – I was making it to be shared at The Spire as part of Brighton Festival 2023. I have also just shared it in Stoke on Trent at Appetite’s The Big Feast 2025. I also spent a day with Sue Palmer working on Atmospheric Forces – currently being shared in a few places – next hosted by Radar in Loughborough (October 9th) and Lancaster Arts (October 17th). Softly/Tenderly at Fierce Festival 2024.” – Sheila
Sheila Ghelani completed a Lab residency in 2022.
