Shantell MARTIN

Inspired by how different people act in different places, and by how storytellers are finding new ways to use technology, Shantell Martin has made fusing the two into something of an artform, bringing a live audience into works that repurpose cars, planes and even the people themselves. Her creative journey has taken her from London to Tokyo (‘Japan taught me about patience and discipline’) to New York, where she has surrounded herself with bold examples of creators and their projects. We spoke to Shantell on her creative life abroad and what it has meant for her work.
