Contemporary Art & Performance
Florence Fitzgerald-Allsopp is a cultural producer, writer and researcher in the field of contemporary art and performance. Working closely and creatively with artists and arts organisations, she has produced a diverse range of international collaborative projects across visual art and live performance. Her writing has been commissioned by artists and galleries including Elly S. Vadseth (NO), Susan Simonini (AU), Ruth K. Burke (US), Frea Buckler (UK), K-Gold Temporary Gallery (GR) & Smithson Projects (UK).
She is currently undertaking a Techne funded PhD with the University of Surrey. Her research considers the ethics of interspecies practice in contemporary art and performance, with a particular focus on animals and the deep entanglement of contemporary oppressions. She is also co-editing a book with Prof. Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca on Interspecies Performance – a dialogue between practice and scholarship which aims to foreground an intersectional and ethically oriented approach to human-animal collaboration.
