Heather Marshall (she/her) is a queer, disabled, multi award winning, socio political artist and writer. She often works under the company name Creative Electric where she creates theatre and live art with and for people that may not traditionally engage in the arts due to social and/or financial barriers.
The first lockdown in March 2020 saw her focus on creating street art as a means to communicate with her local community which led to her creating My Aunties a Vandal, an art project for young people using video and illustrated story sheets, that explored alternative methods of communication. https://www.imaginate.org.uk/artists/projects/ideas-fund-my-aunties-a-vandal
She now has an established tape art practice which allows her to create interactive and removable street art provocations. Her tape art work can be found throughout Edinburgh and participants of tape art workshops are now creating their own work across the world.
Heather has created work for local, national and international organisations including Edinburgh International Festival, National Theatre of Scotland, ITAC 4 New York, ITAC5 Seoul, BOP, Imaginate, LeithLate, Stoff Stockholm, Touretteshero, BAC, Dance Base, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and The Fruitmarket Gallery.
Throughout all these connections she has focused on elevating and celebrating voices that may not traditionally be heard within their communities.
