Clémentine Bedos

Clémentine Bedos is a tutor on the MFA programme.

Clémentine Bedos is a transmedia artist, researcher, and educator based in London. Drawing on a multicultural heritage (Haitian, gitane, Kabyle, European) and training in law, philosophy, and fine arts, their practice investigates the interrelated phenomena of mind, body, and consciousness within hegemonic systems of identity. Grounded in embodied research and interdisciplinary collaboration, Bedos creates site-sensitive installations and performances that hold ancestral, diasporic, and esoteric knowledge systems in tension with extended reality (XR) technologies, thereby activating the frictions and unexpected resonances between divergent ontologies as a form of creolised resistance and epistemic disobedience. Disrupting colonial logics, their work reorients aesthetic focus inward, reclaiming the body, its sensuality, and inner visuality as sites of emancipation and non-duality.

Recent projects include Your Rage is Sacred (maa) at FormaHQ (London, 2024) and Goldsmiths Sonic Immersive Media Lab (2023); Metamorph at Eastside Projects (Birmingham, 2024), VSSL, Goldsmiths CCA, and The Bomb Factory (London, 2023); and Loving Fugitives, Runaway Images at Van Gogh House (London, 2023).

Bedos was awarded a fully funded residency with La Wayaka Current (Atacama Desert, 2025), and the Immersive Arts Expand Grant for Breathscapes (2025-2026). They also chair the Artists Council at a-n, The Artists Information Company, leading national and international advocacy for artists.
