Paul Stewart
Artist, filmmaker, curator and researcher
My work asks how people live with places, institutions and one another, and how art can make those relationships visible. Working across film, curating, writing and education, I develop projects through sustained collaboration, often in post-industrial and environmentally contested landscapes.
