Join a virtual studio visit with artist Rory Pilgrim (b. 1988, UK) hosted by Whitechapel Gallery’s youth collective, Duchamp & Sons.
Rory works in a wide range of media including film, sound, song writing, drawings and live performance. Centred on emancipatory concerns, they challenge the nature of how we come together, speak, listen and strive for social change through sharing and voicing personal experience.
Strongly influenced by the origins of activist, feminist and socially engaged art, Rory works with others through dialogue, collaboration and workshops. In an age of increasing technological interaction, their work creates connections between activism, spirituality, music and how we form community.
