Jo Willoughby is a visual artist and educator whose practice focuses on collaboration and cooperation. Dedicated to the service and gratitude of radical collectivity, her work emerges from group praxis, or seeks to consider how and why such forms of togetherness are not only necessary but a joyful resistance in times of neoliberal atomisation. Her most recent research is based on the artist as a member of an activist group, which tools or enquiries might this practice develop alongside other members to sustain meaningful collectivity?
Jo is a member of art collective Stair/Slide/Space based between the UK and the Netherlands. She is also a member of Future Field (a collective based in Rotterdam) and Cultural Workers Unite (A network of precarious, wageless and underpaid cultural workers).
