Dylan Barr (They/Them) is a multidisciplinary artist and organiser based in Liverpool, working across installation, sculpture, sound, moving image and socially engaged practice. Their work explores identity, memory, embodiment and shared experience, often through immersive environments that invite reflection, connection and emotional presence.
Their practice is rooted in personal experience and develops through instinct, material exploration and lived reality. Barr is interested in how art can hold space for feelings that are difficult to articulate, creating environments where emotion can be felt rather than explained.
Recent work explores the relationship between trans identity and fertility, considering both personal and collective experiences around the body, reproduction and access to care. This research is developing through both individual making and collaborative processes, including workshops and shared sessions with other trans artists, with an interest in how knowledge and experience can be held collectively.
Alongside their individual practice, Barr is the founder of Merseyside Queer Markets, a community-led platform supporting LGBTQ+ artists and creatives. This work informs their approach to art-making, with a focus on accessibility, participation and creating welcoming spaces beyond traditional gallery contexts.
They also run Liperty-Liperty, a small art and jewellery project centred around rabbit imagery, which extends their interest in accessible, everyday forms of creative expression and material exploration.
