Hope Strickland

Hope STRICKLAND (United Kingdom) is an artist-filmmaker and researcher from Manchester, UK, with British-Jamaican heritage. Her work sits at the intersection of experimental film and documentary practices, moving across archival, analogue and digital formats in order to quietly sit across from and outside of time. Key to Hope’s work is a consideration of how working with Black moving images can contribute to the rearrangement of how Black lives come to socially and culturally matter. Hope’s work has been screened internationally at film festivals, including the 59th New York Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Scotland and EXiS Experimental Film Festival, Seoul. She was awarded the 2023 Aesthetica Emerging Art Prize.
