AA2A Resident Artist

Uma Breakdown

Schemes:

I’m Uma, an artist, writer, and award winning game designer interested in animals, horror, and psychic/cybernetic structures which support/inhibit solidarity. Everything I make is about some combination of love, grief, hallucination, and an excess of joy. Recent exhibitions include: “The Joy of Destruction” for Backlit (Nottingham, 2023), "Hinterlands" at Baltic (Gateshead 2022), and my first solo exhibition/game series “Earth A.D.” co-commissioned by and touring across Wysing Arts Centre (Cambridge, 2022), FACT (Liverpool, 2023), and Quad (Derby, 2024). I was shortlisted for the Adam Reynolds Award (2020) and The Arts Foundation Award (2023).
