Maz Murray (b. Basildon 1995) is an artist working in film, writing, collage and installation. Murray uses satire, surrealism and melodrama to talk about queer and trans identity, class, and the complexities of public life. They’re interested in the creation of artificial landscapes - from New Towns and shopping centres to stage sets and imagined utopias - and the struggles that shape them. They have shown work at Studio Voltaire, Turner Contemporary, Outfest and South London Gallery, among others. They’ve made films with BFI Network, ICA, Dazed and Channel 4. Their first institutional solo show was at Focal Point Gallery in March 2024. They are currently working on a collaborative novel.
