Annie Harrison is interested in bringing back into consciousness hidden and forgotten narratives. Her recent work has concentrated on the historic and contemporary urban environment. She creates installations and objects in a variety of media which respond directly and personally to the stories she uncovers.
Since graduating from the Manchester School of Art in 2009, Harrison has exhibited widely. Her practice is informed by her previous work in human rights advocacy, counselling and community health. She is currently doing a practice-led MA by Research at MIRIAD, MMU.
