Helen Barker

Vegan since 1996, and a creative for her whole life, Helen began using art to enhance her animal rights activism in 2016. Through illustration, painting, sculpture and writing, she aims to change people's understanding of their culturally indoctrinated, speciesist views towards our relationship with other animals.

Helen believes deeply in the need to understand all social justice issues as connected under the oppressive forces of capitalism. With this in mind she sees that solidarity between all justice movements is vital, in the fight for the collective liberation of human animals, more-than-human animals, and the planet.

Her home serves as a microsanctuary, where survivors from the animal use industries live their lives out in peace.
