Art & Cultural Programmes Curator, St Andrews Botanic Garden

Biography

Anne is an art historian, writer and curator working at the intersection of contemporary art, environmental humanities and critical plant studies. Based in Fife, she serves as the Art & Cultural Programmes Curator at the St Andrews Botanic Garden. In this role, she collaborates with national and international artists and creative practitioners to explore the garden as a site of relational ecologies, positioning it as an incubator for interdisciplinary thought and exchange.

She holds a PhD from the University of St Andrews, where her thesis was titled ‘Anthropocene Mobilities in Contemporary Art: Exploring a Movement-Oriented Lens in Times of Ecological Crisis’. Her work draws on ecocriticism, environmental and plant humanities, new mobilities and the politics of nature and landscape. Anne is particularly interested in conceptual art that challenges anthropocentric conventions and examines the entanglements of human and more-than-human life.
