Anna Taylor is an artist-practitioner working through writing, listening and performance. Her work sits in the in-between as an embodied investigation of the limits of categorisation and mediated experience. Her work is process-based and shared in hyperlocal contexts, where she creates space for dialogue and collective thinking.
She is currently drawing on this practice to hold space for collective explorations around the role of art in everyday life and the complex, often invisible labours of instituting and care at In-Situ, where she has worked since 2018.
Anna’s practice initially developed out of motherhood as a creative context. Her perspective is informed by autistic experience. Her work is anchored by formative experience of religious trauma, navigated via the post-industrial landscapes of the coast where she grew up and the steep-sided valley where she currently lives.
Anna is a Co-Director at In-Situ; an embedded arts organisation in Pendle, UK with a unique organisational structure and core mission for social change. Working in a cross-cultural and intergenerational context, we are co-imagining and co-creating future systems and structures, connecting art, people and place.
As Critical Engagement lead, she has established ‘Thinking Out Loud’; a process and platform for the collective exploration of the value of art in everyday life, which challenges who gets to define, shape and carry thinking forward.
Anna is also leading and documenting In-Situ’s action research into sharing power as part of its core structure. ‘Fluid Structures’ is a co-developed organisational model that radically reframes working relationships, value, productivity, failure, agency and inclusivity within the organisation and the sector.
