Vegapunk VisualContainer Videoart (VVV) residency 2024
VVV Residency is a collaborative online residency between artists in the UK and facilitators Vegapunk and VisualContainer in Italy. Through a process of digital foraging, each artist created a video work from found footage. The residency is a space for discussion around the process and feedback on the works, and the creative process is documented via a public blog.

Venice Fellowships Programme Yearbook 2022
The Venice Biennale Fellowships Programme with the British Council is a scheme for early career creatives to spend a month in Venice during the Biennale, and supports the British Pavilion exhibition programme. It is a key part of the British Council's presence at the Venice Biennale. During the Fellowship in September 2022 I invigilated Sonia Boyce's Feeling Her Way at Cecilia Alemani's Milk of Dreams, for the 59th Venice Biennale. This experience was so valuable and taught me a huge amount about how people interact with art, and the conversations it can spark. I also undertook my own research, largely focussed on ecofeminism, and made site specific work in response to this research. The Fellowship greatly enhanced my practise as an artist.

Talking Trees 2021
Talking Trees, a collaboration between Arts University Bournemouth, and the Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC) in Pakistan. The project intertwined creative workshops, field trips, talks and online exchanges between the two organisations. The central inspiration for our project was trees; something our worlds share. Talking Trees allowed a space for creative play and connection with trees for the children at SPARC and the artists in Bournemouth. Born of this project was a publication showing some of our conversations, in Urdu and English, as well as an eclectic collection of our art works. All proceeds from the publication go to aid for the floods in Pakistan.
