Hannah Reeves

Hannah is a transdisciplinary artist-researcher, writer and facilitator, with longstanding interests in climate & ecology, embodiment, memory & social justice. Her work sits across psychosocial studies, anthropology, environmental humanities and visual arts.

Hannah is passionate about fostering collaborations that bridge perspectives from within and outside academia, and has previously worked with collaborators specialising in archaeology and ecology. With Guilaine Kinouani and Clau di Gianfrancesco, Hannah is the co-editor of ‘Creative Disruption: Psychosocial Scholarship as Praxis’ (Palgrave Macmillan, due 2024). The book brings together creative & critical perspectives from scholars & practitioners that challenge psyche/social boundaries.

Hannah’s PhD research explored Crossbones Graveyard, London, an industrially redeveloped post-medieval working class and poor burial ground, which has since been reclaimed by the local community. The project brought together diffuse textual material via storytelling and poetics, attempting to make otherwise opaque & scattered forms of knowledge accessible. Ultimately, the project considered what kind of ethical responses to the dead are possible at the surface of the burial ground when the details of those lying beneath are murky and fragmented.

In the long-term, Hannah’s commitments are to tracking human-nonhuman relations in sites of anthropogenic disturbance (particularly in urban settings) via multimodal approaches that bridge art and science, theory and practice. She is particularly interested in grappling with neurodiverse and neuro-disabled embodiment within multispecies timescales.

Hannah takes up residency at Can Serrat in October 2024.
