Workshops, Short Courses, Community Projects and Lectures - (2017-ongoing)
I specialise in gender studies, wearable art, sculpture and performance. As an artist and educator, I regularly work with LGBTQI+ and Neurodivergent groups, and I have experience working with disabled artists. I am passionate about fashion and art in their most inclusive and egalitarian forms, and I particularly enjoy working with young people and marginalised communities. I have experience in working with established international institutions such as the V&A Museum and the Tate, and I presented lectures and workshops at leading universities such as Central Saint Martin and the Royal College of Art.
