See My Tutor

I am a multi-disciplinary artist working with sound, drawing and collaborative projects. My work is centred around social and historical relational knowledges and the multi-layered meanings of stories, words, sounds within Black music, writing and performance.

I have hosted Tough Matter, a monthly experimental broadcast on NTS Radio since 2017 and facilitate Open Deck - a series of gatherings giving space to collectively listen and hold discursive space around relationships to music, sound, memory and oral histories.

I am currently level 4 year lead on the Fine Art BA programme, have recently supervised on critical research and publication modules and teach studio modules across all levels working with first, second and final year students at Liverpool John Moores.
