ESTHER JOHNSON

Areas are researched from everyday life to uncover resonant stories of subjects that are otherwise hidden or ignored in contemporary culture. Work is made for exhibition and cinema screening through individual
projects, commissions and residencies. My work has been exhibited globally in film festivals, galleries and cinemas in around 20 countries, including the London Film Festival; Raindance Film Festival, London; IDFA, Amsterdam; MadCat Film Festival, San Francisco;
NASA, USA; Science Museum, Tate Britain, Tate Modern & ICA, London; Cornerhouse, Manchester; Site Gallery, Sheffield;FACT,
Liverpool; Sotherby's, New York and the Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro. Work has appeared on television, and in adapted versions for radio, and writing has featured in arts publications. In addition to my film and photographic work I curate film programmes, and am Senior Lecturer in Film and Media at Sheffield Hallam University, UK, and former Director and Curator of Hull Film and its Hull International Short Film Festival.
