Emmeli Person is an artist working within the framework of material, curatorial and critical learning practices. As an artist her work extends itself within the expanded field of storytelling through sculpture and performance, emphasizing intra-active approaches to the objects we sometimes call art. Her research unfolds in playful and speculative ways, as it looks at how we collectively can challenge and re-tell our ecological and phenomenal realities.
Emmeli works extensively with artistic and educational platforms and has been a guest lecturer at Konstfack University for Arts and Craft, Royal Academy of Arts, Tromsø Art Academy, Stockholm University, and is a returning lecturer at Ölands Konstskola. During 2020-2022 Emmeli was a participant of the Critical Theory and Art Praxes program at the Dutch Art Institute.
Based in Stockholm she was recently the Curator of Learning at Index Foundation, where she lead Going to an exhibition in character, Parrot School and Index Teen Advisory Board, as well as being a Curator for Film i Samtidskonsten.
