Alicia Escott is an interdisciplinary artist born in Massachusetts. She/They is interested in how we each are negotiating our immediate day-to-day realities and responsibilities amid an awareness of the overarching specter of climate change, mass extinction, and the subsequent unspoken individual and collective experience of loss, heartbreak, and longing—and the related social and political unrest it produces. She/They approaches these issues with an interstitial practice that encompasses writing, drawing, painting, photography, video, sculpture, social practice, and activism.

Escott has shown her/their artwork in over 100 art institutions, galleries, museums, and alternative spaces, including exhibitions at the Headlands Center for the Arts, Berkeley Arts Center, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco Maritime Museum, Berkeley Art Museum, and Museum of Contemporary Art, Santa Barbara.

Escott is a founding member of 100 Days Action and is half of the social practice project entitled “The Bureau of Linguistical Reality.” Her/Their work has been featured in the Economist, New Yorker, KQED, MOMUS, San Francisco Chronicle, and many others.

Escott lives and works in San Francisco, California.
