Anthony Luvera is a socially engaged artist, writer and educator. Working in concert with people who are marginalised, overly spoken for, and misrepresented, Anthony’s practice is built on dialogue, trust, participation, and co-creation. Through long-term collaborative projects, often embedded within the support services of health and social care organisations, Anthony’s work addresses issues such as homelessness, housing injustice, and queer representation. His exhibitions take place in the public realm as often as they are seen in galleries or museums, including the UK House of Commons, Tate Liverpool, Museum of Homelessness, London Underground’s Art on the Underground, National Portrait Gallery, Belfast Exposed, Malmö Fotobiennal, Goa International Photography Festival, Oslo Negative, and Landskrona Foto Festival.
His publications have been distributed freely to residents across cities and sent directly to local and national policymakers in support of efforts to campaign for improvements to public services. He has designed education and mentorship programmes, facilitated workshops, and given lectures for the public education departments of National Portrait Gallery, Tate, Magnum, Royal Academy of Arts, The Photographers’ Gallery, Barbican Art Gallery, and community photography projects across the UK.
