Wendy Morris

Wendy Morris (she/her) is an artist and writer. She was born in Namibia, grew up in  South Africa, and is living in Belgium. These days she works primarily through gatherings, performance, processions, sonic herballs, stitch-epics and chapbooks. Wendy’s work explores anti-fertility plant histories as clandestine archives. She is interested in travelling women and geographies of journeying that connect pockets of contraceptive knowledge from the peaks of the Pyrenees to Signal Hill, Cape Town.

Nothing of Importance Occurred. Recuperating a Herball for a 17th century Enslaved Angolan Midwife at the Cape is her current project and manifestations of the Herball have taken place in Belgium, South Africa, DRC and Brazil.

Wendy is assistant professor and artistic researcher at the University of Leuven and LUCA School of Arts, Brussels, and a member of the research collectives Deep Histories Fragile Memories and Fluid Futures.
