Artists

Gregory Herbert

Gregory Herbert worked with Venture Arts artist Malik Jama on a residency and exhibition with partners Castlefield Gallery and Roberts Institute of Art.

Gregory Herbert (B.1990) is a former Director of The Royal Standard and completed his MA Fine Art at Manchester Metropolitan University. Working across film, installation, and community action, artist Gregory Herbert seeks to explore the spaces between species. His practice centres on collaboration with both human and more-than-human participants, asking how we can engage and activate support within an ecosystem in a way that avoids extractivism, and looking instead to models of mutuality and solidarity.

Herbert’s recent commissions include; Immersive Arts, The Hum (2025) At The Library, Inhale/Exhale (2024) Site Gallery, Collective Composting (2023) Bluecoat, Contours of the earth (2022) Rule of Threes, Winnowing Phase (2022) SheffieldDocFest, Exchange program, Making-With (2021) and FACT, Together, We Are Symbiotic (2020). Recent exhibitions include ‘Climate. Emergency. Hope’ Turnpike Gallery, Leigh (2023); ‘Archives at Play’, Castlefield Gallery, Manchester (2022); ‘Earth Eaters’, Cole Projects, Hoxton 253 Project Space,London (2020); ‘The Cucumber Fell in the Sand’ at Humber Street Gallery, Hull (2019); MA Degree show, HOME, Manchester(2019)
