BIOGRAPHY
As an art curator specialising in collaborative, interdisciplinary co-production and transhistorical exhibition-making, Eleanor Thirlway’s practice explores the intersection of contemporary art with dominant historical narratives that shape both individual identity and global society. By bringing together artists, communities and thinkers from diverse disciplines, she seeks to expand access to the arts and redress imbalances of representation within cultural spaces. She strives to create immersive, thought-provoking exhibitions that challenge conventional boundaries and invite audiences to engage actively in their evolving relationship with art. Her work foregrounds lived experience and fosters creative innovation, making space for multiple voices and perspectives. In doing so, she aims to transform the gallery into a site of dialogue, exchange and possibility where the past is re-examined, the present is questioned and the future can be imagined collectively.
