Helen Cammock
Helen Cammock was born in 1970 in Staffordshire. Film, photography, print, text, song and performance examine mainstream historical and contemporary narratives about Blackness, womanhood, oppression and resistance, wealth and power, poverty and vulnerability, throughout her practice. 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.
Recent group shows includeTime for Women! Empowering Visions in 20 Years of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women, Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy (2025); Connecting Thin Black Lines 1985 - 2025, ICA, London (2025); Helen Cammock, Ingrid Pollard and Camara Taylor, Dundee Contemporary Arts, Scotland, UK (2024); Conversations, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, UK (2024); WINK WINK, Whitaker Art Gallery and Museum, Rossendale, UK (2023); Breathing, Hamburger Kunstalle, Hamburg, Germany (2022); Radio Ballads, Serpentine Galleries, London (2022) and Sixty Years: The Unfinished Conversation, Tate Britain, London (2021). In 2023 Cammock received a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award for Artists. In 2019 she was the joint recipient of The Turner Prize and in 2017 she won the Max Mara Art Prize for Women. Cammock’s public art commission On WindTides (2024) launched on The Line, London in May 2024.
