Harriet Pozanansky (b. 1990) is a British Artist based in London having recently moved back to the UK from Oakland, California. She received her MA at The Slade School of Fine Art, London and School of the Art Institute Chicago, SAIC (2014). Pozanansky’s recent work is driven by a fascination with bodily experiences and the judgements they accrue, for example pleasure becoming associated with shame or fear with disgust. Her work speaks of the fear of the alien, infection that rises from assimilation between state and individual, the body politic as forever present, but with no clear indication of where the head lies. Her works can be seen as acts of protest, unravelling the messy emotional reality of disempowerment, depicting the chaos of systems and refusing to conform to the mass-propagated idea of the body.

Selected exhibitions include Simmer, Root Division, San Francisco (2018); Wild is the Wind at TI-155, San Francisco (2017), What Do We Do When Things Break Down, The Flight Deck Oakland, (2016), Pandiculate! The Joy of Stretching, The Koppel Project, London.
