enys Blacker (London, 1961) is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance art, drawing, sculpture and video. She has lived and worked in Catalunya since 1987 and has shown her work internationally for over 30 years. She is co-founder of the all-women performance group Ocells al Cap (Birds in the Head) and a member of the International performance group, Wolf in the Winter. Blacker’s interest lies in the way we intercommunicate and how we develop our individual and communal capacity for adaptability and contingency. She explores the artistic, social and political implications of engaging with embodied, intuitive and visceral ways of knowing. In 2019, she was awarded a PhD from the University of Northumbria, Newcastle, (England). Her research Interconnection, Synchronicity and Consciousness in Improvised Performance Art Practices, has led her to explore the boundaries between subject and object and between self and other, to reveal how we might communicate in ways that go beyond the cognitive senses, including the possibilities of telepathy and precognition.
