SUSAN ASKEW (alisases – Nasus Y Ram and Weksa Nosmada) was born and grew up on a farm in North Yorkshire and can trace animal farming on both sides of her family for generations. This experience influenced her to focus on violence to the farmed animal in her work. She takes a hopeful/utopian radical futurist approach in which future humans look back with incomprehension at their treatment of the farmed nonhuman. The Museum of Human Violence is a central concept in her work. Opened in 2065, the museum houses artefacts from the past, as well as organises events in the future that have the function of both remembering and honouring the victims of past violences, and celebrating peace in 2065: https://themuseumofhumanviolence.com
Susan graduated from the MA Fine Art at Camberwell College of Art in 2023 and is a candidate for the artistic practice-based Ph.D at Kingston University.
