Multidisciplinary Artist / Film Maker

Location:

Scotland

ABOUT:

My process-led practice explores the disparate facets of identity and their intertwined politics, aiming to reflect on and highlight how marginalized individuals and communities create, work, and survive. Often autobiographical in nature, my work is loosely informed by philosophical and psychological research, seeking to explore how lived experiences of otherness and intersectionality inform the daily lives of artists.

Brooke Milliken (b. 1996, Edinburgh) is a multidisciplinary artist, facilitator and thinker who primarily uses time-based methods to investigate the boundaries of social class, gender, and race. Her works in moving image, text, photography, and sound document her interest in domesticity, working classness, feminism, and psychology, which are recurrent themes throughout her work. Brooke continues to work alongside arts organizations, aiming to build meaningful relationships with communities and inspire those who may face barriers to engaging with the arts.

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.
