Biography
Elita Robertson is an MA Curating student at UWE Bristol, having graduated with a First in BA Sociology at UWE last year. She grew up in the Orkney Islands of Scotland and spent some time in South Africa as a child; these contrasting locations sparked an interest in social dynamics early on. Moving to Bristol for her undergraduate studies deepened this interest in improving society with central themes of her undergraduate research being new technologies, platform capitalism and ethics. It also reignited her passion for the arts which have been a longstanding influence on her life leading her to merge these interests through an MA Curating with an integrated placement at Bricks. Through the course, placement and opportunities that have arisen through these she has realised the importance of community across both rural and urban locations.
