Isobel Cawley is a Morecambe-based curator and researcher working across multiple curatorial initiatives in the North West. She is developing a research-led curatorial practice that merges critical discourse with visual arts, with a focus on expanding research capacity within exhibition-making practices sensitive to the environment and to the choreographic.

Together, they are working on the visual articulation of a research project about calcification in biocapital formations of gender and race, testing various curatorial approaches for the presentation of this research. The exhibition will take place in 2026.
