Ash Reid
Ash Reid is a London-based artist whose performance-based practice reflects her own experiences in support work and organising. Recent projects have looked at cognitive behaviour therapy techniques and role-playing game structures, performed through ongoing communication with others, publicly and in private. In recent years, Reid has been an invited speaker and reading group host for LUX Scotland in Glasgow and Hospitalfield, Arbroath; performed at Wysing Art Centre music festival in collaboration with musician Liene Rozite; worked with the group Pond Scum for events at IMT Gallery and the Vestry Museum in London; and performed at Tectonics festival in Glasgow, curated by composer Ilan Volkov and presented by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Reid was a voluntary member of the Cinenova working group, a feminist film distributor in London, and from 2018 until 2021, she is undertaking research into the collection as an MPhil/PhD candidate at Goldsmiths, University of London.
