Professor Eenasul Fateh’s practice resides in his humanistic instinct for dismantling boundaries between disciplines and arenas and in his lived resistance to power-based categorisation. He is a social scientist, psychologist, strategy consultant and artist-researcher.

He studied economics and international relations at LSE, continuing there (1980-4) as a research fellow in global economy and strategic studies. In addition he has integrative training across psychologies and therapeutic studies: Goldsmiths University, Institute of Psychosynthesis, Tavistock + Portman NHS Foundation Trust, Tavistock Institute of Human Relations.

His heterodox bodies of works encompass academia, strategy consultancy, trauma-informed processes, community development and fugitive cultural practice.

He teaches strategy, innovation and trauma-informed design methods at Loughborough University London, UCL, LSE, Cranfield, Royal College of Art. As a strategy consultant he has advised DEFRA, Forum for the Future, Carbon Descent, EDF Energy, Schlumberger, LVMH, Adidas, Citibank. As a multi-faceted, self-organising artist-researcher he explores the dynamics of human relations across diverse contexts, typically extemporising site-specific installations coupled with ad-hoc time-based actions, largely as collaboration with local peers. He is an experienced community development and youth worker and has supported people with complex trauma – in the community and for some years in clinic as a member of the Trauma Unit of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.

“My early experience of culture and the arts was seeing them sited in the community and being generated and sustained by real relationships. I am interested in the discourses preoccupying civil society – and as an artist my actions are inevitably emerging from and responding to events around. My multiple practices are concerned at their core with illumination and revelation”.

Eenasul wrote these lines in 2007 and they still hold some truths for him, “like a refracting prism whose tinctures and facets seem to gain new life with passage of time”.
