About

​Alexa Wright is a London-based artist working across a range of media, including video, photography, interactive installation, book works and objects. 

 

Alexa’s work has been widely shown internationally in festivals, such as

Kochi Biennale, India; FILE, SESI Art Gallery, Sao Paolo, Brazil; DaDaFest International, Liverpool; International Women Artists’ Biennale, Incheon, Korea and Athens Photo Festival. Her recent interactive series of soft sculptures, ‘One and All’ was shown in The Great Exhibition Road Festival, Kensington, and Arcana, Walthamstow (both 2026). 

 

Alexa has devised and led a number of socially engaged projects. For example, from 2021-23, supported by a small ACE Lottery Grant, she worked with men and women at three UK prisons to co-create ‘Inside Stories’, a series of 11 short video diptychs, first shown at Saatchi Gallery, London, 2023, and MK Gallery, 2024.

 

The focus of Alexa's work has always been the question of what it means to be human, but her interest has recently shifted towards an exploration of our symbiotic relationship with microbial communities, and with the wider natural world. During residencies in rural Italy (2024), Finland (2025) and Spain (2026), she collaborated with non-human inhabitants of the local environment to create locally sited works, and short videos such as The Before and the After.

 

Alexa’s mini artists book, ‘Obiter Dicta’, was published by Piece of Paper Press, London, 2025.
