Heather Tweed

Heather Tweed is an artist, writer and researcher with a practice spanning more than twenty five years. Her exhibition work has been shown at the Venice Biennale, OXO Tower Wharf, Old Truman Brewery and Edinburgh Fringe. One of two British artists selected for the British Council’s international Crossing Cultures partnership in Cairo and Alexandria, her work has been supported by Arts Council England, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the British Council, and covered by The Guardian, The Independent and the BBC. The artist has been selected as Saatchi Online Critic’s Choice and Saatchi Video Artist of the Week three times. Alongside her visual practice the artist has spent years recovering forgotten Victorian lives from the archive, writing for the Public Domain Review, Ripperologist Magazine and Historians Magazine. She is a member of the Society of Authors, the Royal Historical Society and the British Music Hall Society. The visual and the written works intermingle, drawn from the same source, an obsession with the overlooked and the extraordinary.
