Biography
I am a freelance creative practitioner who designs museum workshops, supports the curatorial production of socially engaged artist projects, and facilitates Restorative Care Practice (RCP) through artist Gaylene Gould's Re-UP! associates programme: encouraging people to reconnect with their creative intuition through craft.
My Fellowship research aims to reimagine the London Tube as a site for playful participatory art and learning interventions that disrupt the phone-focused 'zombification' of modern urban travel. By shifting the transit experience away from defaulted digital escapism, can space be made for journeys that are grounding, present, and creatively nourishing? In the context of persistent inequities in access to art education, this project seeks to reimagine how to make art part of the everyday.
My Fellowship focuses on learning from Taiwan, Singapore, and Japan because of their distinct approaches to metro art, playful humour, public participation, and transport etiquette.
