Lucy Wright, a Leeds-based artist, explores the intersection of folklore and place, often drawing from her vast archive on female and queer-led folk customs to challenge traditional practices and examine gender and class themes. After her time as the lead singer of the BBC Folk Award-nominated act, Pilgrims' Way, she pursued a PhD at Manchester School of Art and later became a Visiting Research Fellow in Folklore at the University of Hertfordshire. Over the past decade, she's showcased her art in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and received multiple awards and commissions from esteemed institutions.
