I work with arts organisations and independently to realise visual arts projects including exhibitions, events and publications.
I specialise in community, social and educational projects, and have worked extensively in the not-for-profit, higher education, and charity sectors. My areas of interest are community-led curatorial practices, commissioning new projects, and curating programmes.
My research focuses on curatorial systems and processes, and how these can be taught (formally and informally) to others through hands on experience. I’m also creating a body of work looking at the ways that language and data can drive curatorial practice using printed formats.
