Louise Ashcroft's performances, comedy, videos, writing, community projects, drawings, games and sculptures spawn from her optimistic but antagonistic fieldwork in public space; meddling with the bizarre norms of capitalism and reinventing what's possible. ​Speaking fiction to power, Louise's work creates situations and stories which unravel reality and remix primary and secondary research; often deliberately misunderstanding or subverting cultural codes and disrupting systems in order to speculate alternative ways of seeing/being. 
Research-comedy. Participatory Adventures. Pop-Ecology. Small Acts of Resistance. Regenerative Everything.
