Who We Are And What We Do

Squirrel Nation Studio create experiences from concepts that consider co-existence as an ethic. Our work spans installation and live events, from an urban mushroom farm reimagining the future of food in a climate emergency, to moving image film, Nature's Switch, which examines human-plant relationships to red light and was exhibited in a forest clearing.

Squirrel Nation is co-founded and creatively directed by artist, designer and researcher Caroline Ward, and neuroscientist and storyteller Dr Erinma Ochu. We've been artists in residence at The Stuart Hall Library/INIVA, Jerwood Fellows at Manchester International Festival, and Fellows examining racial justice and the ethics of Artificial Intelligence with JUSTAI/Ada Lovelace Institute.

We've been commissioned by Sheffield Doc/Fest, Brighton Digital, Shuffle Festival, Arts Council England, European City of Science, Wellcome Collection and hetnieuweinstituut.
