Gayle Rogers
ARTIST & RESEARCHER
ABOUT
As an artist I create narrative art & illustrations.
I lead and project manage creative workshops and events with an arts-in-community focus
I am the manager of the WORKERS Gallery & Studio in the WORKERS, Wales.
As a researcher my main focus is sports history and commemoration, specialising in the 1958 Munich Air Disaster and the memorialisation of my ancestor Duncan Edwards.
ARTIST
I create drawings and illustrations, digitally or on paper to commission or speculatively. I often use drawing as a tool to convey complex historical narratives and stories exploring social issues.
I work mostly in the history and heritage sector, alongside creatives, academics and researchers.
As a tutor I lead art and design workshops and project manage arts in community events and activities.
RESEARCHER
My research considers sports history and commemoration, particularly that of my ancestor Duncan Edwards.
He was an England player and Manchester United Busby Babe, who died after being injured in the 1958 Munich Air Disaster. I present my research at international conferences and to community, academic and business groups.
EXHIBITIONS & WORKSHOPs
My current or scheduled exhibitions, creative workshops or curator activities are featured in this section. I'm currently drawing and writing a zine about Duncan Edwards using extracts from my PhD about this comemmoration.
