Jade de Montserrat is a research-led artist and writer based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
She makes visual and live artworks that explore race and the vulnerabilities of bodies, the tactile and sensory qualities of language and challenge the structures of care in institutions.
Montserrat works collaboratively with artist and performance collectives including Network 11, Press Room, the Conway Cohort, Rainbow Tribe: Affectionate Movement and Ecology of Care Bureau.
Selected screenings, performances and presentations include: Arnolfini, and Spike Island, Bristol (2017), Alison Jacques Gallery (2017), Princeton University (2016).
In February 2020 Montserrat became the first artist to be commissioned under the Future Collect project managed by INIVA, a scheme to support museums and galleries to commission artists of African and/or Asian descent.
