Micha Frazer-Carroll (UK associate) is a writer with a background in non-fiction and poetry. Her non-fiction work takes on themes of anti-capitalism, mental health, disability, and culture, and considers how storytelling can further movements for social justice. Last year, Micha published Mad World, a book on the politics of mental health, with Pluto Press.
During her residency at Delfina she will commence work on a new creative writing project, which will look at themes of madness, futurity and technology. The work will engage with the genre of sci-fi, and features an unreliable narrator who is experiencing dissociation, and a non-linear experience of time.
Micha has been nominated for the Anthony Burgess Prize for cultural criticism and the Comment Awards’ Fresh New Voice of the Year. She published Mad World: The Politics of Mental Health in 2023, and has written for Wasafiri, Vogue, Dazed and a number of other publications. She currently edits for Skin Deep, a magazine on the intersection of racial justice, arts and culture, and has written culture columns at both the Guardian and the Independent. This year, Micha is working on a text to accompany ‘The New Subject – Mutating Rights and Conditions of Living Bodies’ – an exhibition taking place with KINDL Centre for Contemporary Art in Berlin.
Micha was born in the UK and lives in London.
