SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley
DESCRIPTION:\n\nDanielle Brathwaite-Shirley is a London- and Berlin-based artist and game designer whose practice prioritizes active engagement. Working predominantly in animation\, sound\, performance\, and video game development\, the artist’s practice focuses on intertwining lived experience with fiction to imaginatively retell and archive the stories of Black Trans people\, creating participatory spaces to envision more inclusive futures.\n\nTheir projects often take the form of immersive video games\, where players navigate choices that confront their assumptions and biases\, fostering deeper conversations about identity\, privilege\, and systemic oppression. Through their innovative use of digital media\, the artist not only preserves histories but also envisions inclusive futures where the voices of those that are often ignored or erased become central. Their work is both “archive and insurgency\,” a catalyst for dialogue\, inviting audiences to reflect on their roles within broader societal structures\n\nDanielle Brathwaite-Shirley has presented solo exhibitions at Serpentine North\, London (2025)\; LAS Foundation\, Halle am Berghain\, Berlin (2024)\; Fundació Joan Miró\, Barcelona (2024)\; Studio Voltaire\, London (2024)\; Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève (2024)\; SCAD Museum of Art\, Savannah (2023)\; Villa Arson\, Nice (2023)\; HAU Hebbel am Ufer\, Berlin (2023)\; FACT\, Liverpool (2022)\; Project Arts Centre\, Dublin (2022)\; Skänes konstförening\, Malmö (2022)\; Arebyte Gallery\, London (2021)\; QUAD\, Derby (2021)\; and Focal Point Gallery\, Southend-on-Sea (2020).
