Michelle Hannah is a Glasgow born and based artist, performer, noise maker, photographer and graduate of the MFA program at Glasgow School of Art (2009). At the core of their practice is an excavation of queer presence within photo montages, 3D imagery, disembodied sounds, speculative texts, moving image and vocal performances. They are currently interested in what (and where) queer consciousness could be, non human intelligence, the limits of cosmic pessimism and parapsychology. This research has also spanned into artist led curation and collaboration; producing outputs such as performative dystopian cabaret nights, music gigs, late night radio shows, cosmic horror screenings and a now defunct techno nightclub.

They have exhibited and performed at Talbot Rice Gallery Edinburgh, HOME Manchester, CGP London, ZKU Berlin, CCA Glasgow, Central St Martins London, DCA Dundee, BALTIC Newcastle, Minsheung Art Museum Shanghai, Baltic Newcastle, Artlicks London, Tyneside Cinema Newcastle, Suttie Arts Aberdeen, GOMA Glasgow, The Royal Standard Liverpool, ESW Edinburgh, The Cooper Gallery Dundee, Dresden Film Festival, TULCA Festival Galway, and curated events for the Glasgow Film Festival. Presented at the ‘Grace Jones Symposium’ at Edinburgh University (2017) and is a Visiting Lecturer at Edinburgh College of Art. In 2013 they were shortlisted for the Margaret Tait Award and received the Creative Scotland Openfund to produce a solo durational performance and exhibition ‘KEENER’ at Glasgow International Festival of Visual Arts (2018). Most recently they performed as part of the British Art Network symposium from Tate and the Paul Mellon Centre
