ARTIST'S TALK: RUTH EWAN
Ewan's practice often uses subversive propaganda and radical texts to address esoteric histories, particularly those of movements that emerge from a groundswell of discontent. With projects that are populated by protestors, socialists, Anabaptists, rebels, children and the socially marginalised she discusses what it might mean to make critically engaged work.
