About

Charlie Fitz is a UK based sick and disabled artist, writer and medical humanities postgraduate at Birkbeck, where she is a recipient of a Wellcome Trust studentship. She is a founding member of Resting Up Collective and a co-director of the ACE funded artist studio TRIAD³.

Charlie's work as an artist and researcher is rooted in narratives and representations of illness, disability and trauma. A self-taught artist working in tactile and digital forms she utilises the theoretical frameworks of crip time, crip futurism, critical theory, phenomenology of illness and epistemic injustice.

Since 2019 her work has been exhibited in 11 exhibitions in London, Manchester, Birmingham and online. In 2022 she exhibited in group shows with TRIAD³, at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, with In Transit as part of an artist residency, at No Format gallery, with Shape Arts and in the event ‘Shards: contemporary representations of disability’ at The British Museum; in which she also ran a workshop and spoke on a panel. She has had art and writing published and has had press in Disability Arts Online, Dazed, It’s Nice That and Stylist.
