Rachael Miles

Rachael Miles is an artist, senior lecturer in Visual Culture and currently acting AHoD for Foundation, International and EDI.

Rachael has exhibited her work widely in the UK. Exhibitions include the John Moores Painting Prize 2022, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.

Current work includes a series of performances ‘The Depravation Indices: Taking stock of the FTSE’. In these performances, the 100 logos and brand identities of the UK’s top 100 FTSE index companies are conveyed through a rapid fire game of word association, What emerges is the story of how these companies (Vodafone, United Utilities, Dorothy Perkins, Shell, etc.) have become entwined within the economic and social fabric of everyday life, what is offered is an interpretation of the impacts on a community.

Rachael has gone on to produce a number of events hosted by the Arnolfini and aimed at a multigenerational Queer audience. These events bring together talks, performance and entertainment and create a space for generating dialogue within the Queer community.
