About

Laurane Le Goff (born 1996) is an ecologically engaged textile artist and costume maker. She investigates the other-than-human world and finds ways to tell their stories through performance and collaborative works. This interest has led her to interdisciplinary practices that she has developed in the MA Art and Science at Central Saint Martins (CSM).

Le Goff’s meticulous work in costume making, textile crafts, drawings, and prints, emerges from the experience of natural processes, especially through the comprehension of biology and microbiology. Because of her strong sense of ecological activism, her work is often collaborative and linked to social issues.

She co-curated ‘Entangled Futures’, a series of events that aims to embed an intersectional and cross-disciplinary education about the ecological crisis in students’ curricula. The project was supported by the Climate Emergency Network of UAL, but also London LASER. In 2021/22, she was one of the CSM Changemakers and helped to change the university towards more social and ecological justice.
