About
I am a community artist and educator with over 20 years experience. In all my roles and projects, I aim to use creative practice to enrich lives and promote social change. I endeavour to provoke a response in participants and the audience that makes them stop, think and question, possibly shifting opinions or inspiring them to challenge the status quo through their conversations and actions.
In the last 12 months my work has developed around changing migration narratives and challenging xenophobic representations and inhumane developments in government policy. I have been working closely with Care4Calais, local community groups and other voluntary organisations to develop projects and activities that build relationships between immigrant and host communities facilitating opportunities for exchange of skill, knowledge and culture (transculturation) in both directions, an idea initiated by Tania Bruguera in her 2019 “School of Integration”.
Mosaic Workshops
A minimum of 2 sessions required: have fun in this challenging yet rewarding workshop making your own mosaic mirror. Suitable for ages 5 and up – younger children fully supervised in use of real tools. Commissioning a longer series of workshops inevitably leads to increased confidence and independently initiated projects such as the table and mirror pictured. Fantastic process to encourage group work, facilitate new relationships and improve focus and attention span.
