Create Connect Communicate
I believe in the super power of the arts to solve complex problems.
Through my work I seek to find the gaps spending time in these spaces experimenting with new ideas, technologies, ways of doing things, trying to understand the problems, digging for solutions and ultimately working to bring systemic change that makes the world more equitable and accessible to everyone.
I am hard to put in a box, I am an artist, activist, artistic director, journalist, creative placemaker and policy consultant but working with community is always central to my work.
Bellow are some of my favourite projects.
