Danielle Child

Danielle is Lecturer in Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Manchester. Her research adopts an historical materialist approach, exploring the relationship between contemporary art and capitalism through the lens of labour. This includes social (collective, participatory and public) artistic practices, contracted labour (the ‘invisible hands’ of production), and social class. She is author of Working Aesthetics: Labour, Art and Capitalism (Bloomsbury, 2019) and is currently working, as editor, on The Routledge Companion to Art and Capitalism.
