French musician and artist Félicia Atkinson’s (*Paris, lives and works in Normandy and Paris) recordings and books are intimate dispatches from the space that separates private thought and public expression. For over a decade, across multiple mediums, she has been slowly evolving an abstracted narrative that explores the emotional and spiritual frequencies of an interior life that is ever in motion out in the world. In addition to her solo work, Atkinson publishes other artists' books and recordings through the imprint Shelter Press, which she runs with her partner Bartolomé Sanson. Voice and text are central to Atkinson's work, and it is through language that she communicates the dimensions of a multi-faceted career in which travel, performance, publishing, and family are each elements acting to inform and nourish a holistic, creative life.

Félicia Atkinson graduated with honours from the École Nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (MA) and followed the experimental pedagogical project Bocal, initiated by choreographer Boris Charmatz. Félicia Atkinson has collaborated with musicians including Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Chris Watson, Christina Vantzou, and Stephen O'Malley, and with ensembles including Eklekto (Geneva) and Neon (Oslo). She has performed at venues and festivals such as the INA GRM/Maison de la Radio and the Philharmonie (Paris), Issue Project Room (NYC), the Barbican Center (London), Le Guess Who (Utrecht), Atonal (Berlin), Henie Onstad (Oslo), Unsound (Krakow), and Skanu Mesz (Riga). Her work has been commissioned by filmmakers (Ben Rivers, Chivas de Vinck) and fashion houses (Prada, Burberry). She has exhibited in museums, galleries, and biennials including RIBOCA Biennale (Riga), Overgaden (Copenhagen), BOZAR (Brussels), Espace Paul Ricard (Paris), and MUCA ROMA (Mexico City).
