Ellie Harrison is an artist and activist based in Glasgow. Her playful and provocative work responds to the British culture she grew up in, attempting to investigate, expose and challenge its sometimes illogical and absurd political and economic systems.


As well as making politically-engaged works for gallery contexts and the public realm, Harrison is also the coordinator of the national Bring Back British Rail campaign – which strives to popularise the idea of re-nationalising of our public transport system – and the agent for The Artists’ Bond – a long-term speculative funding scheme for artists.
