ABOUT SOME.GAL

Grace Lee (SOME.GAL) is a multidisciplinary artist-researcher, community facilitator and DJ of Jamaican and Scottish heritage, based in Sheffield. Her work investigates how hidden histories live inside bodies, materials and sound.

She translates archives, ancestral memory and community knowledge into collective workshops, installations and performance, working across collective quilt-making and collage with diaspora communities, hand-sewn costume, carnival sculpture, animation, games engine design and beat-making. For her, making is a living form of archival and community practice.

With a background in Anthropology, Sociology and Scenography, Grace brings a decolonial approach to how research and cultural heritage are co-created and presented. She works with organisations and research institutions to design multimedia, participatory experiences that open up complex ideas, turning static displays of knowledge into dynamic platforms of dialogue, disruption and reclamation. She is drawn to projects that bridge art, technology and storytelling, and that position communities as experts of lived experience.

She facilitates across museums, science institutions, NHS wards, galleries and community organisations, with a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-friendly and participatory methodology.
