I am Natalie Sharp, a British artist, musician, and radical body activist of dual heritage. With a multidisciplinary practice spanning over 15 years, I continuously push the boundaries of artistic expression and challenge societal norms.
As a disabled artist myself, I am deeply committed to advocating for inclusivity and accessibility within the art world and beyond. My work is rooted in radical body activism, aiming to challenge ableist structures and promote a more inclusive society.
Through my art, I explore the possibilities of the human body, pushing the boundaries of what is considered “normal” or “acceptable.” I use performance art, music, sculpture, and costume design to create thought-provoking experiences that challenge perceptions and celebrate diverse bodies and abilities.
Drawing on my dual heritage, I incorporate elements of my cultural backgrounds into my art, weaving narratives of identity, heritage, and belonging. By embracing my disability and incorporating it into my artistic practice, I aim to empower others with disabilities and redefine societal norms around physical ability and appearance.
As a leading voice in radical body activism, I have gained recognition both nationally and internationally. I have exhibited extensively and performed in prestigious venues and events. Through my art, I strive to create a more inclusive and accepting society, where all bodies, including those with disabilities, are celebrated and embraced.
