About

Helen Cammock was born in 1970 in Staffordshire. Cammock examines mainstream historical and contemporary narratives about Blackness, womanhood, oppression and resistance, wealth and power, poverty and vulnerability through film, photography, print, text, song, and performance. Her works often cut across time and geography, layering multiple voices as she investigates the cyclical nature of histories in her visual and aural assemblages.

In 2017, Cammock won the Max Mara Art Prize for Women and in 2019 she was the joint recipient of the Turner Prize.
