Jenny Richards works as a freelance curator and writer based in London and Stockholm whose research focuses on the politics of collaborative practices.

Since 2017 she has acted as curator of Marabouparken Konsthall, Stockholm. Previously she worked as co-director of Konsthall C, Stockholm where, together with Jens Strandberg, she developed Home Works, an exhibition program exploring the politics of domestic work and the home.

She currently studies as a phd candidate at the ‘art, technology and design’ programme at Konstfack and kth Royal Institute of Technology. Her research, writing and projects focus on the politics of work and collaborative practice.

She works with Sophie Hope on Manual Labours, a research project begun in 2013, that explores physical and emotional relationships to work.

Their project reconsiders current time-based structures of work (when does work start and end?) and reasserts the significance of the physical (manual) aspect of immaterial, affective and emotional labour.
