Babeworld
Previously described as ‘fragmented feral activities’ (Frieze, 2024), Babeworld are an art collective based across Stoke-on-Trent and London. Babeworld’s work uses popular-culture inspired film, installation and sound design to interrogate themes of political and societal identity, disability, access, neurodivergence and race. By using a tongue-in-cheek approach to serious themes, Babeworld are able to playfully explore these themes whilst capturing the lived-experiences within the collective. Underpinning this work is an ongoing commitment to researching what it means to make, participate in and spectate art as marginalised individuals. Across their work, Babeworld aims to capture a life of contrast - one in which oscillating mental health, mania and delusion can make things feel hopeless and paralysing, or thrilling and obsessive.
