Anna Barham (UK, 1974) is a London-based artist working across writing, sound, installation, video, and live events. Treating language as raw material, she explores how it shifts between technologies, bodies, and forms. Much of her recent work subverts speech-to-text software, probing the materiality of the voice and how selfhood is produced and complicated in an era of digital communication and machine learning.

She has forthcoming solo shows at Badischer Kunstverein, Karlsruhe, DE and Matt’s Gallery, London, UK (both 2026). Recent exhibitions, displays and projects include: Feminist Duration Reading Group, London (2025); Magenta, Emerald, Lapis, Tate Modern, London (2023); APRIA Journal, ArtEZ, NL (2022); Whitstable Biennale, Kent (2022); Flat Time House, London (2021); Chelsea Space, London(2021); Index, Stockholm (2020) ; Quote/Unquote, Bucharest (2020); Site Gallery, Sheffield (2018); MIMA, Middlesbrough (2019); Playground Festival, Museum M, Leuven (2016); Wellcome Collection, London (2016); and K-W, Berlin (2016). Publications include Poisonous Oysters (2019) and Return To Leptis Magna (2010).

She will complete a practice based PhD at the University of Oxford in 2026.
