Gemma Marmalade

Gemma Marmalade is a British artist and senior academic in Photography at the University of Derby, UK. Gemma is finalising doctoral research in 2021 titled: In A Manner of Speaking: The Subversive Voice in Performative Art at the Cambridge School of Art, Anglia Ruskin University.

Marmalade’s diverse practice is exhibited widely, including the Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; The Photographers’ Gallery, London; Marjorie Barrick Museum, Las Vegas; The Apulia Film Commission, Bari; and the State Museum of Gulag, Moscow.

Her work specialises in experimental approaches in photography, video and performance which playfully negotiate the authenticity and conventions of speech acts, history and science with queer politics.

Marmalade was co-organiser of the FORMAT19 Photography Festival Conference held at the University of Derby. In addition, she is co-editor of the publication of an edited selection of papers arising from the conference, titled: Mythologies, Identities and Territories of Photography: Forever//Now, published by and available from Cambridge Scholars
