The Full Story
Akeelah Bertram is a cross-disciplinary artist specialising in making immersive experiences. Materially her work blends light, sound, sculpture and interactions to create hybrid immersive environments that prioritise emotional experiences. Conceptually she is interested in collective narratives, challenging perspectives and innovating modes of communication.
Akeelah has worked with a range of institutions, practitioners and audiences, often shifting between the roles of artist and director.
