Ben Parry

Ben Parry is an artist, curator and researcher working at the intersections of art, activism, critical urbanism, and waste. He uses art as a tool to create spaces in which to imagine alternative futures and intervenes in the everyday via small acts of resistance. His practice takes diverse forms from site-responsive interventions, documentary and exhibition to collaborative and community-led projects in diverse contexts. He recently co-designed Compound 13 Lab, in Mumbai; an experimental learning and maker space exploring the politics of waste and the everyday survival of the cities’ informal waste workers. He runs the MA Curatorial Practice programme at Bath Spa University.
