Biography
Dr. Liz Gre (pronounced Grey), they/she, is a Black Midwestern American composer, multi-disciplinary artist, researcher, and vocalist known for her genre-less compositions created through collaboration. Her artistic practice is deeply rooted in storytelling and the visceral realms of the imaginary, exploring the opacity of human experience.
As a sound artist-researcher, Liz delves into the applied use of Endarkened Co-Composition—a collaborative method she developed for generative sound and music-making. This approach centres Black and Indigenous forms of storytelling and story-keeping, utilizing methods such as storytelling, interviews, and informal exchanges. Endarkened Co-Composition is a non-linear process focused on creating a space of endarkened co-presence where shared stories and experiences fundamentally shape the sonic outputs.
Currently, Liz is a cross-departmental Lecturer at the University of Southampton in Music and Art and Media Technology. She also serves as the EDI Lead for Music. Her work has been exhibited at notable venues such as Lindisfarne Castle (Holy Island, UK), Lisson Gallery (London, UK), The Union for Contemporary Art (Omaha, USA), and Queens Museum (New York, USA).
Liz's performances and premieres include prestigious events such as The Cartography Project at the Kennedy Center/Washington National Opera (Washington DC, USA), North Star: Conversations on Boundlessness Symposium at Lincoln Center (New York, USA), and Arachne: Rebirthing Dislocated Cultures, a collaborative piece with artist Adelaide Damoah at Gagosian Gallery (Britannia Street, London, UK). Additionally, she co-created Under the Skin of a Guild: Wake of Lost Souls, a collaborative performance and film with artist Enam Gbewonyo, co-commissioned by Arts&Heritage and Guildhall Art Gallery (London, UK). Another significant work includes We Invoke the Black. To Rest, a collaborative performance with Enam Gbewonyo, activating Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s exhibition Fly in League with the Night at Tate Britain (London, UK).
