Anna Francis

Anna Francis is an artist and researcher whose work aims to create space to discuss and reframe city resources, through participatory art interventions. She creates situations for herself, the public and other artists to explore places differently. In recent years the interventions which Anna has worked on focus on the city of Stoke-on-Trent, and use an action research process to recognise untapped resources, and co-create solutions with communities. Anna is Associate Professor of Fine Art and Social Practice at Staffordshire University, and a Director at The Portland Inn Project, an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation.
