Pam Skelton
Pam Skelton is an artist and researcher who taught on the BA Fine Art course at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, 1992–2013. Her principal practice was painting before transitioning to moving image in 1993. From then on her investigation into the interface of private and public memory, absence, amnesia and the Holocaust in the age of postcolonialism, resulted in site-specific moving image projects in Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Russia and East Germany and include Dangerous Places: Ponar (1995); Liquidator (1997); Ghost Town (2001); Burning Poems (2005); Conspiracy Dwellings (2007) and Hotel Minerva (2009). The cost and consequences of the suppression of the violent historical past and its emergence into the present are the subject of her most recent works, We Refuse to be Scapegoats (2021), and Ukraine Suite (1996–2022). As an occasional writer, Pam has contributed to a variety of publications and journals throughout her career and has co-edited two books.
