Artist El Morgan is working with Radar on a significant new commission looking at the material and metaphorical links between human and nonhuman production, what it means to live a productive life in the face of disability, and how we produce and reproduce familial relationships of care.  

Through a partnership with Dr Pandora Syperek, a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow based at Loughborough London and a research fellow at V&A East, Morgan is researching historical animal products housed in the V&A’s collections.  

El Morgan is an artist and writer working with video, sculpture, printmaking and performance to explore our relationship with other animals. This has included serenading a spider, making a diamond from the dead creatures of the River Thames and embracing a giant green sea anemone.
