Alice Merida Richards
Merida participated in 'Conversations Series III: Narratives' a 6 month residency working in collaboration with Venture Arts artists, particularly with Horace Lindsey on "Falling" music and video.
Alice Merida Richards is a multidisciplinary artist and facilitator based in Manchester, specializing in ceramics and sound.
With over a decade of experience in studio-based ceramics and an extensive background in making and production, her work is anchored in material exploration, collaborative practice, and process-oriented outcomes.
Richards’ work seeks to foster dialogue and forge connections across time, utilizing imagery and sounds from the past to resonate with the present. She engages with talismanic figures from history—whether artists, relatives, or cultural icons—to bridge her world with theirs. This symbolic or actual collaboration is a fundamental aspect of her practice, highlighting the interconnectedness of different eras and perspectives
