Nina Pope

Nina Pope is a British artist working primarily in collaboration with Karen Guthrie under the name "Somewhere." Their practice focuses on participatory art, often involving community engagement, temporary installations, and projects that explore themes of place, history, and social interaction.

Somewhere's projects frequently incorporate a research-based approach, delving into the specific contexts of their chosen sites and the narratives of the people who inhabit them. They often use a variety of media, including film, audio, performance, and constructed environments to create immersive and thought-provoking experiences.

Notable works by Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie (Somewhere) include projects that explore food production, rural economies, and the impact of tourism on local communities. They have exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally, and their work has been recognized for its innovative and socially engaged approach to art making. Their projects aim to blur the boundaries between art and everyday life, inviting audiences to actively participate in the creation and interpretation of meaning.

Their collaborative practice began in the late 1990s, and they continue to work together on a wide range of projects, exploring contemporary social and environmental issues through a creative and participatory lens.
