==Biography==
Collins studied at [[Slade School of Fine Arts]] in London (1974–78) and in USA on a [[Fulbright Program|Fulbright Scholarship]] (1978–79).<ref>{{cite web |year=2009 |title=Hannah Collins (1956 − ) |url=http://visualarts.britishcouncil.org/collection/artists/collins-hannah-1956 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180207063014/http://visualarts.britishcouncil.org/collection/artists/collins-hannah-1956 |archive-date=7 February 2018 |accessdate=25 January 2010 |website=Visual Arts |publisher=British Council}}</ref>
Collins' works form a reflection on issues such as the collective experiences of memory, the spaces that have marked and continue to mark cultural and social history, and figures in everyday life and in modern life. Her work incorporates notions of otherness, time, loss and transformation, and spans historical narratives, still lives and occasional portraits within an expanded field of photography.
She has made films with Romani in Spain and in Russia living for extensive periods of time amongst the community. She has also made extensive photographic works with tribal groups in the Colombian Amazon.
