Dr Heather Connelly is an artist/researcher, Senior Lecturer and International Lead at University of Lincoln, UK. Her artistic research concerns art-and-translation and linguistic hospitality, establishing Translation Zone(s), in 2016 to explore how art practice can be used to engage people in the complex issues of translation and more broadly transcultural communication. She is cofounder and co-curator of InDialogue a series of artistic research events that aimed to provide platform and hospitable environment for artistic research, experimentation, interrogation and discussion about and through dialogue. Heather often works across disciplines – creating the conditions for individuals to work together to examine, explore ideas, identify issue and problems through arts practice.
