Curating & Events

I am interested in projects that connect people and enliven communities and believe in the transformative power of art on both micro (personal) and macro (global) levels.

When curating events I seek to work with artists who are inherently political & sensitive and am interested in giving voice to those least heard. I see curating & producing as a collaborative endeavour and work with artists whom I find a deep resonance and who are able to speak their truth to us all.

In 2011 I co-founded ]performance s p a c e [, the UK's only performance art specific studio & exhibition space and working curating events & activities until leaving the organisation in Spring 2020.

Parallel to this I have worked as a producer for independent artists and curated exhibitions & events for Folkestone Pride.
