Stella Rooney is an artist and organiser living in Glasgow.

Working across photography and moving image, my work is a point of engagement with collective histories, investigating labour from the perspective of both past and present. Through understanding past struggles, I aim to situate the politics of today within a historical context, aiming to identify past, present and future points of solidarity.
 
Since graduating from Duncan of Jordanstone in 2020, I was selected for a year-long culture collective residency with StreetLevel Photoworks and Hospitalfield Graduate Programme. My project ‘She Town’ which explored the role of women in Dundee’s industry and politics, was shown at RSA New Contemporaries and awarded the National Library of Scotland Purchase Prize for Moving Image.
