Anthony Schrag

Dr Anthony Schrag is an artist and researcher whose cultural practice emphasizes people. His work is largely in-the-moment and performative, and includes, in his own words, ‘blowing things up, climbing on buildings, attempting to break a world record for hand-holding, and walking 2500km across Europe’.
Anthony has produced and performed art internationally, with residencies in Iceland, USA, Canada, Pakistan, Finland, The Netherlands and South Africa.
Anthony is a Reader in Arts Management and Cultural Policy at Queen Margaret University Edinburgh, where he serves as Programme Leader of the MA Arts Festivals and Cultural Management and Co-programme leader of the MA Applied Arts and Social Practice.
