Chantelle Purcell is a London-based British and Jamaican curator and artist. Her work explores the intertwined histories of Britain and the Caribbean, inspired by personal experiences, folklore and the ways in which culture can seek to preserve identity through storytelling. Whether working as a curator or artist, she seeks to gain a deeper understanding of the world through connecting and empowering communities.

Her work involves mixed media objects, text and sound to create multilayered sensory installations. Her work more broadly seeks to connect to her heritage, searching for an understanding of herself and the world around her. In recent projects Chantelle harnesses the power of water as a symbolic vehicle to explore difficult subjects that affect communities both locally and globally.
