Gemma Gore (she/they) is a Southampton-based visual artist and arts educator whose practice is grounded in disability, motherhood and eco-feminism. Working across mark-making, photography, movement, community-based methods, zines/publishing and installation, Gemma creates assemblages that explore the forces, poetics and discontents of care. Her practice attunes to the body's sensual, neurodivergent ways of knowing — probing interdependent ecologies of care, intimacy and connectedness, and imagining otherwise in/accessible spaces. Collaboration is central to this work, entwining human and more-than-human worlds.

Gemma is resident artist for the Guardians of the River Itchen and part of PAC - Practising Artists Commoning, artists' peer group (More Than Ponies, New Forest), has been a member of artist/curator collective Stair/Slide/Space, has shared a practice with Jo Willoughby for 'from Doggerland', and is affiliated with the global scholar network at Ocean/Uni (TBA21). Gemma is an Artist Associate at John Hansard Gallery and a member of the British Art Network.

Awarded Arts Council England Develop Your Creative Practice fund in 2021 for self-initiated R&D project Tender. Selected exhibitions include Eastside Projects (Birmingham, UK); NewBridge Projects (Newcastle, UK); John Hansard Gallery (Southampton, UK); Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin, Ireland); Ormston House (Limerick, Ireland); and Station Independent Projects (New York, USA).
