Laura Lulika

Leeds
Disabled working-class artist and parent living in Leeds with my partner and collaborator, Hang Linton, our kid Cyd and our lurcher, Berris. I work with and through sick chaos and an aching pelvis. Collaboration and community is everything.

Based in Leeds, UK, Laura Lulika is an artist and cultural worker. Their experience of being a disabled queer neurodivergent and working-class parent shapes their creative practice. Lulika can usually be found sat on their stoop like a gnome where the local kids will come for chunky chalks, plant babies and a natter. 

Tracing wiggly lines from the ancient to the contemporary ways that storytelling methods have unfolded is the thread of interest that runs through all of Lulika’s experiments. Using whatever materials they can get their hands on, scrap, natural or digital, Lulika enjoys making from what is at hand with a conscious consideration for environmental sustainability. 

Health precarity and changing access needs has given Lulika the opportunity to shift their practice from performance to video to collective work to accessibility to sound to sculpture and it continues to evolve. 

Part of Lulika’s work is to provide accessibility and EDI training, workshops, talks, auditing and access documents in various formats for arts organisations and festivals. They are currently doing ongoing access and EDI work with Counterflows Festival in Glasgow, Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and their local arts organisation, East Leeds Project, of which they are a trustee.
