Nick Ferguson is an artist based in London. His practice investigates relations between art, space and power with recent and ongoing projects focused on Heathrow Airport, its neighbourhoods and airspaces. Here, against the backdrop of UN Sustainable Development Goal 11,“Sustainable Cities and Communities”, he has sought to understand the role of art in environmental knowledge making, the role of art in the environmental strategies of organisations and the future of international cultural collaboration under the conditions of net zero. Outputs comprise visual arts practice and writing within the mobilities paradigm.
