Birthe Jorgensen

We are more than happy to welcome Birthe Jorgensen to ESW as part of the Scotland – Argentina Residency that has been supported by the British Council and been curated and hosted by La Ira De Dios (Argentina) and Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (Scotland).

Jorgensen’s work intertwines disparate narratives, places and timeframes, her installations are often poly vocal, speaking to themes of geographical displacement, entanglement, feminism and environmentalism.
