Victoria Burgher is a multi-disciplinary artist who lives and works in East London. She studied at Goldsmiths College (MA) and her politically engaged practice ranges from sculptural installations and site-specific interventions to collaborative community projects. She is interested in art’s ability to challenge histories and a fascination with materials and process inform her approach to making. Current work uses colonial commodities in an attempt to challenge the nostalgic narrative of Empire. She exhibits regularly in the UK and Europe.
Victoria has recently been awarded a techne/AHRC doctoral scholarship with the University of Westminster for her practice-based research project “Crafting counter-hegemony: using porcelain to interrogate constructed ideologies of whiteness and empire”.
