Zoë Buckman was born in Hackney, East London, in 1985. She pursued her studies at The International Center of Photography (GS ‘09) and received an Art Matters Grant in 2017. Her artistic practice began to gain recognition through a series of solo exhibitions at various galleries, including Gavlak Gallery in Los Angeles, Papillion Art in Los Angeles, Project for Empty Space in Newark, Garis & Hahn Gallery in Los Angeles, and Milk Gallery in New York. Buckman’s work has also been featured in group exhibitions, such as at the Camden Arts Centre in London.
Her projects often address societal issues, including women’s rights and perceptions of femininity. For instance, her early work, ‘Every Curve,’ initiated dialogue around the juxtaposition of feminist ideals and hip-hop lyrics. She continued to explore challenging subjects with ‘Present Life,’ which incorporated her plastinated placenta to examine the temporary nature of life and birth. ‘Mostly It’s Just Uncomfortable’ responded to political discussions surrounding women’s healthcare, featuring gynecological and boxing imagery.
Buckman’s career progression demonstrates an engagement with both personal experiences and broader social commentary. Her exhibition ‘Heavy Rag’ was influenced by her mother’s passing, utilizing textile works to explore themes of protection and harm. ‘Let Her Rave’ critically examined patriarchal constructs and control over women’s bodies. She has also engaged in public art projects and collaborations, including work with the artist-run Super PAC, For Freedoms, and a mural project titled ‘We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident’ with Natalie Frank, which addressed political rhetoric concerning women.
