ARTIST CV
Profile
I am a Writer, Director and Cultural Worker. My practice is multidisciplinary: verbatim, sound design, music, participatory, site specific, community led. I collaborate with people with direct experience of the work’s issues, challenging injustice. My work is celebratory and platforms the experience of often excluded and/ or self mobilised communities.
