Zoë Walker works collaboratively with Neil Bromwich, an artist lecturer at Newcastle University. Walker and Bromwich are known internationally for their large-scale participatory events and exhibitions that invite audiences to imagine worlds. Their ambitious and expansive artworks re-ignite Utopian ideologies through social sculpture, protest, pageant, and celebration, reflecting a core collective desire for alternative ways of living. Their dual practice seeks to explore the space of 'what exists and is possible'. Walker and Bromwich's distinctive and idiosyncratic approach addresses contemporary life’s complex social, ecological, economic, and political issues with humor and dexterity, expressing a shared commitment to social cohesion through absurdist celebrations. Their work responds to specific sites and situations, exploring the role art plays as an active agent in society. Notable outputs include 'Encampment Eternal Hope', a participatory sculptural installation, and 'Celestial Radio', a multimedia immersive artwork that extended gallery walls. They have presented their work in various prestigious settings, including BALTIC, Tate Britain, and international biennales. Walker has also received numerous fellowships and awards and teaches in the School of Art at Edinburgh College of Art, where she leads innovative offsite projects with students and external organizations.
