Elina Bry

Elina Bry is a Finnish-French multidisciplinary artist based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their work explores the deep entanglements between ecology, memory, and the body, weaving together film, performance, sound, and photography. Rooted in collaboration and participation, their practice invites others into processes of walking, storytelling, and intergenerational exchange, where environmental concerns meet personal and collective narratives.

A member of the Creative Degrowth Network Scotland, Bry integrates ideas of degrowth, ecology, and slow travel into their art and ways of working. They are committed to non-extractive approaches that foreground care, attentiveness to place, and slower, more sustainable modes of making. 

Their recent film, Is the Earth Chronically Ill?, considers geological time, queer ecology, and climate grief, offering poetic reflections on the relationship between the human body and ecological crisis. Through this work, Bry positions art as a tool for collective reflection, regeneration, and connection in a time of environmental precarity.
