#9 Weaving Connections with Mishka Henner

In this episode I’m joined by artist  Mishka Henner. Born in Belgium and living in Manchester UK, Mishka’s work challenges conventional perspectives and encourages viewers to reconsider their relationship with the world, technology, and the lasting imprint of human activity.

His multidisciplinary practice moves through digital terrain, uncovering the cultural and geopolitical forces that shape our present. Through books, films, photographs, and sculptural works, he explores the industrial and cultural infrastructures that underpin daily life, drawing on extensive documentary research and meticulously reconstructed imagery sourced online.

Mishka’s work has featured in exhibitions at some of the world’s most renowned institutions, including MoMA and the Met in New York, the Pompidou centres in Paris and Metz, the V&A in London, FOAM Amsterdam, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing and Turner Contemporary, Margate among others. In 2013, he received the Infinity Award for Art from the International Center of Photography, and was shortlisted for both the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize and the Prix Pictet.  for his large-scale works focusing on landscapes carved by the oil and beef industries of America.
