Emily Whitebread
Visual Artist
Well Projects Co-Director

Emily is a contemporary visual artist and Co-Director of Well Projects, an exhibition and project space in Margate.

Working across diverse media ranging from performance and video work to written publications, Emily investigates breaks down and reimagines utopian futures as proposed by architects, social policy makers, technologists and scientists. Collaboration is a key part of her practice working with diverse groups, from acrobats to physicists, as a method to propel unexpected narratives. The resulting work is often a playful proposition or perspective on the world, drawn from diverse sources. A sense of absurdity and a wry sense of humour often surface, as do underlying sharp political agendas.

Emily is a former Open School East Associate, has an MA in ArtScience, Royal Academy Den Haag (2014) and a BA in Fine Art and Art History, Goldsmtihs (2009). In 2019 Emily was commissioned by Art in Romney Marsh to make a video to be exhibited at St Peter and St Paul, Newchurch. In 2018 she received a bursary from a-n The Artists Information Company to participate in a month long research residency at the Museo Leonora Carrington de San Luis Potosí.
