Fran Copeman is a documentary artist who lives and works in London. Her expansive practice incorporates installation, drawing, print, sound and more. She explores the social and political intersections within specific communities in Britain in the context of land access, dance, protest and politics. Of particular importance are connecting themes such as expressions of freedom, human behaviour, social control, trespass, folk dance and ritualistic gatherings.
