Michelle Hannah is an artist, writer, and performer based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their practice constitutes practice-based research into queer dystopian conditions, working across disembodied sound, post-photography, speculative writing, moving image, and vocal performance. Through the use of noise and post-digital residue across sound, text, and image, they employ degradation as both material process and critical method, generating unstable documents that interrogate narrative, authorship, and mediation. Their current research engages dark forest theory and parapsychology, in relation to class identity and mediated violence, as analytical frameworks for examining collapse, ruin, and futurity, situating speculative artistic practice as a means of articulating emergent queer imaginaries under conditions of systemic instability. They have exhibited and performed at Talbot Rice Gallery Edinburgh, HOME Manchester, CGP London, ZKU Berlin, CCA Glasgow, Central St Martins London, DCA Dundee, BALTIC Newcastle, Minsheung Art Museum Shanghai, Baltic Newcastle, Artlicks London, Tyneside Cinema Newcastle, Women's Library Glasgow, Suttie Arts Aberdeen, GOMA Glasgow, The Royal Standard Liverpool, ESW Edinburgh, The Cooper Gallery Dundee, Dresden Film Festival, TULCA Festival Galway, and curated events for the Glasgow Film Festival. Presented at the ‘Grace Jones Symposium’ at Edinburgh University (2017) and was a Visiting Lecturer at Edinburgh College of Art. In 2013 they were shortlisted for the Margaret Tait Award and received the Creative Scotland Openfund to produce a solo performance and exhibition ‘KEENER’ at Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts (2018). Recently they performed as part of the British Art Network symposium from Tate and the Paul Mellon Centre.
