I am an access-first arts producer, curator and project manager, passionate about telling and amplifying stories about what it means to be human.
My work
Since 2003 I have produced and delivered interdisciplinary exhibitions and public engagement projects, often bringing together art, the humanities and science for museums, galleries, and higher education institutions. My work embraces researching, curating, producing and delivering exhibitions, displays, public events and writing that aims to engage audiences with our human stories. In recent years my work has focussed on inclusive exhibition making, including overseeing the production of audio described tours, BSL tours, Visual Stories and Easy Read resources.
I relish collaborative projects, forging and nurturing partnerships, & I am skilled at managing relationships across many departments & with a variety of stakeholders. My transdisciplinary practice means that I bring an open, curious mind to my work and a flair for working with people from a variety of perspectives.
My commitment to social, racial and environmental justice and equity are core values informing everything I do. I bring an anti-racist & anti-ableist lens to my practice, and continuously hold myself accountable for these approaches. I am committed to an access-first approach, which means embedding access and inclusive practice from the outset of projects, rather than as an ‘add-on’ later in the process. I am currently part-time co-project manager of the Accentuate programme delivered by Screen South, which challenges perceptions of disability by providing life-changing opportunities for Deaf and disabled people to participate and lead within the cultural sector.
