Emma Bergman is an interdisciplinary artist who makes films, installations, prompts, and performances. Their relationship-based practices could not exist without interaction between the artist(s) and participants. Emma’s current projects use an invented institution to study societal and environmental collapse. In 2026, they shared this work in solo exhibitions at Patient Info (Chicago, IL) and Specialist Gallery (Seattle, WA). Emma’s practice originated in and often returns to collaboration—they are a co-founder of the performance collective Call Your Mom, which for ten years exhibited work and led workshops across the US and internationally at the School of Making Thinking (NYC), Gylleboverket (Gärnäs, Sweden), Centro NAVE (Santiago, Chile), Cucalorus Festival (Wilmington, NC), the Sondheim Art Prize Exhibition (Baltimore, MD), and more. Rocko, the documentary short they co-directed with incarcerated artist and organizer James Jones, premiered at DOC NYC in 2023. Emma was a Y10 Community Fellow at New Inc, an incubator for art and technology affiliated with the New Museum.
