Clementine Bedos headshot.jpeg

I am a transdisciplinary artist exploring the interrelated phenomena of mind, body, and consciousness within hegemonic systems of identity. As a queer, mixed-race, non-binary person whose body carries multiple cultural heritages,  I draw on my lived experience of surviving epistemic violence to create artworks that empower marginalised people. ​​​​​​

Currently in the write-up year of a practice-based Phd in the Art and Computing Departments at Goldsmiths, my project is supported by Generation Delta, an initiative of the Black Female Professors Forum. Through embodied research, community-building, and collaborative experimentation, I co-create immersive experiences that counter the dissociative effects of emerging technologies by reorienting attention inward, reclaiming the body as a site of knowledge, historical healing, and empowerment. 

​​​​​​Recent project include Breathscapes, supported by Immersive Arts (2025-2026); Your Rage is Sacred (maa), supported by ACE and FormaHQ (2023-2024); Metamorph, presented at Eastside Projects (Birmingham, 2024), VSSL, The Bomb Factory, Goldsmiths CCA (London, 2023), Well Projects (Margate, 2022) and Jupiter Woods (London, 2021). 

​After three years chairing the Artists Council at a-n, The Artists Information Company, I now continue to serve on its Board of Directors, contributing to artist advocacy nationally and internationally through IAA Europe and IAA World. I am also part of the Senior Tutor team at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford.
