Developing ideas for new work in response the museum's film collection and a selection of early films made by the Hove Pioneers coutesy of Screen Archive South East. I experimented with ideas through a series of workshop with the public as well as with The Wonder Club (a programme for young people led by artist Chahine Fellahi. We experimented with green screen and loops of early film footage, peforming the objects used as props in the selected early film. The material will be developing into a new video installation intervention within the museum.
Glyndebourne Youth Opera - Artivism
I've been part of a project as a visual artist working with Glyndebourne Youth Opera on the ChangeMaker programme, led by The Human Hive over 8 months (2023/2024). 60 young people in two companies across Sussex explored activism through the arts - music, visual art, theatre and movement - in order to create a lasting legacy of climate related change at Glyndebourne opera house itself. Together we are explored how to use the arts to alert Glyndebourne audiences about the threat of climate change and to persuade them to take a small but significant action of change. The project culminated in a performance event where the work was shared and the audience were invited to actively think about what message they were being communicated and provoked to pledge to make changes, however small in their own lives. In collaboration with the young people we made animations, video, photography, collage and objects to support and share at during the final performace.

Putting Ourselves in the Picture Artist in Residence: Fabrica Gallery, Brighton
Commissioned to undertake one of three artist residencies at Fabrica Gallery, a co-commission with Project Art Works as part of their Explorers Project.
Each artist began the residency with a different proposition - for my residency, the emphasis was on what happens when people make things together, how different people respond to objects, what objects can evoke and the ‘conversations' that happen between materials and people. Over the two weeks each morning I worked with diverse groups exploring objects through assemblage, photography, drawing, chalk and a giant blackboard painted wall. The afternoons open up to the public with opportunities to respond to the traces left by the morning workshops.
Fabrica describes the project as "the heart of this dynamic and highly experimental exhibition is the question ‘who gets to create art and whose work is selected and therefore validated for public view?’ We’re seeking to understand more about how access to creation spaces might shape the supply of art and artists in our society and to demystify the who, how and why of selecting work for public consumption."
