Shane Sutherland is a London-based visual artist, curator and DJ of Jamaican descent. Their artistic practice transcends traditional boundaries, employing both analogue and digital processes to empower and celebrate the Black subject. Utilising 3D software, photography, film, archival media, and theoretical text, their work delves into the nuanced themes surrounding global Black identity and experiences, at the intersection of queerness.
Their more recent work ventures into the immersive world of Virtual Reality (VR) and photogrammetry, harnessing 3D software tools like Blender and Unity to breathe life into new video concepts and experiences. Excitingly, they are now seeking to learn the fundamentals of game design and ways to integrate Augmented Reality (AR) technology within their work.
Some of Shane's achievements include their directorial and production work on the Afrofuturist Sci-Fi short film "OSUPA," which garnered acclaim and was screened at London Short Film Festival in 2023. They have also previously exhibited work at 198 Contemporary Arts & Learning, Karst gallery, Walkers Court-Soho estates, One Thoresby Street and Copeland Gallery.
Intrigued by the boundless possibilities of storytelling, technology, and cultural representation, Shane continues to world build & shape a unique artistic narrative that seeks to foster community & challenge societal norms.
