Soozy Roberts is a socially-engaged artist and curator who collaborates with communities, objects and environments as accumulative sites for work, in an interactive, playful and progressive manner.  Her work uses common motifs from contemporary and pop culture to explore memories, current affairs, collective histories, nostalgia and relationships.   She questions the political through the domestic, often relating to families, femininity and a sense of ‘home’ or belonging.

 

Roberts has been supported and funded by Arts Council England, Create Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire Gateway Trust, Gloucester Culture Trust, Cheltenham Festivals and Strike a Light.  She was winner of the Sir Leslie Joseph Young Artist Award, 2008 and has exhibited widely including Hardwick Gallery, Cheltenham, Arnolfini, Bristol, Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff and Points d’impact Festival, Geneva.

 

Roberts is the co-founder and director of GASP! Gloucestershire Arts & Social Projects CIC (with Hannah Thomson) who create socially-engaged art projects, opportunities for young creatives and development pathways in the visual arts in Gloucester. www.gasprojects.org.uk

Roberts also works with artist Lorraine Robbins as 'Robbins and Roberts' in bringing together their work for a range of immersive and curated artistic projects, including "Robbins and Roberts Pleasure Gardens" Museum in the Park, Stroud and "Death & Leisure", Hardwick Gallery, Cheltenham.
