AboutRosie Ridgway is a multidisciplinary artist and musician- dismissing the categorisation between the two. Instead she prefers to focus on what is collaborative or participatory, and how to work in a radically inclusive way, with a focus on experimentation, celebrating differences and increasing accessibility.

Rosie sees collaboration as a form of resistance; the work of building and sustaining a collective project is just as important as the outcome of an individual artist. To her, collaboration is the ultimate medium for artistic investigation, generating a counter-narrative which reacts to the imposed pressure of individuality of being an artist. Through this responsive and DIY approach my work spans costume, sound, music, installation, print, sculpture, film and performance.

Rosie studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths, and in 2014, alongside fellow artists, Rosie created an unaccredited M.A. course called School of The Damned, which ran as a critical, self- governing M.A. This course was created to protest to the high tuition fees of the current education system. School of the Damned is in its 11th year. 



 Rosie works within inclusive arts organisation Heart n Soul, working with musicians with learning disabilities, creating innovative and accessible music and art opportunities. They have exhibited and performed in South London Gallery, The Tate Modern, South Bank Centre, London. Within her work at Heart n Soul, Rosie works on Sound Lab, which  is a digital music making opportunity led by people with learning disabilities – pioneering work supporting independent music making, better understanding of inclusive practice and their voice within the music technology industry.

Rosie also works as a music producer and sound designer. She plays and tours with bands including RMA, H.M.S RMS and Dean Rodney Jr. and The Cowboys.
