Natalie Sharp
Natalie Sharp is a British artist, musician, and radical body activist of dual heritage. With a multidisciplinary practice spanning over 15 years, she challenges societal norms and advocates for inclusivity and accessibility within the art world and beyond.
As a disabled artist herself, Natalie’s work traverses sound, vision, and costume, weaving together ambitious interactive multimedia performances that challenge perceptions and ignite conversations. Rooted in body activism, her practice embraces composed sound, electronic music, video, performance, and lighting, all underscored by a profound commitment to inclusivity and environmental consciousness. Drawing on her dual heritage, she incorporates elements of her cultural backgrounds into her art, weaving narratives of identity, heritage, and belonging.
About Natalie Sharp's Artist In Residence project
For her residency, Natalie wants to challenge the conventions of music performance by creating a ‘softer’ live experience, one that places audience and artist on the same level – horizontal. Using projection mapping and immersive sound, her proposed project ‘Sea Blanket’ invites audiences into the dynamic and sensory-rich world of coastal landscapes in a unique live experience that explores broader themes of disability and accessibility, identity, and environmental stewardship.
