Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie is an artist from and living in Glasgow, Scotland.

Zoë makes work about being, in the many ways they imagine being can be for them. In their practice, making work and producing the work of others is a site to 

breathe, 
reconfigure, 
unclog, 
play, 
be (a)live, 
be unfixed. 

A space which tightly embraces abundance and multiplicity.

Zoë works predominantly with clay and make ceramics using handbuilding techniques as well as wheel throwing. They also make using pen (lettering and drawing) and video.

They interrogate Scotland’s colonial history, specifically relating to and the legacies of the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
 
Informed by the politics Black Radicalism Zoë employs narrative building and dismantling, listening and questioning, to consider alternative understandings and activate further possibilities as a means to liberation.
