Quilla Constance (born Jennifer Allen) legally changed her name to Quilla Constance (aka QC) in 2025 to "fully inhabit and activate the artistic persona I created, and help generate positive social change. I've legally changed my name to Quilla Constance because I am her and everything she stands for - I've transcended my birth name, so it's redundant"
Quilla Constance (aka QC) is deployed to locate and activate points of agency for mixed heritage/intersectional and black female identities within the art world and majority culture.
QC formulates a critique through interrogating (often injurious) category-driven capitalist networks. As such she seeks to liberate marginalised identities through an interdisciplinary practice of paintings, costume-installations, music videos, photographs, mainstream TV appearances, live performances (across various contexts) and academic lectures.
