Yuko Edwards
Yuko Edwards is a Bristol-based visual artist who works primarily in the media of video and photography. Her work is research-led and addresses concepts of self and social identity. She situates her subjects in a historical context to explore social, political, and economic realities. Archival material, including family photographs, are often used as a starting point in the work as a way to retell stories and interrogate existing social structures. She is interested in how one’s identity is shaped by time and place.
