Grace Browne is a multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow. Her fluid practice encompasses visual arts, filmworks and socially engaged arts. Her research roots in uli, and inale the ancient body and mural arts of her Igbo and Idoma foremothers. 

Guided by nature, the original teacher, Browne creates portals for reconstructing and reimagining ancestral knowledge.
