Emalee Beddoes

Emalee is a museum curator with over 10 years experience delivering exhibitions and cultural programmes across the West Midlands. She is Curator of Collections and Engagement at Hereford Museums and Galleries, where she is leading the arts strand of the museum’s major redevelopment. Her practice centres on co-production, working with artists and communities to explore and reinterpret historic collections for today, with a particular focus on folk art, humour in art, and strengthening rural arts ecologies.

“I’ve long been impressed by the innovation DASH brings to building an art world where Disability Art is recognised as a core part of the sector. I am inspired by their vision for how artistic and curatorial practice can advance the shared aims of disability justice and climate justice. I am delighted to support the team in developing ambitious, sustainable strategies to fully realise this vision.”
