Visual Artist, Curator and Researcher with a socially-engaged practice, focusing on facilitating accessible engagement within communities via lens-based media, workshops, collaborative production, and interventions.

- modes of display and representation in moving-image archives
- working-class methodology
- heritage preservation
- Identifying affinities within cultural alterity
This research uses a methodological approach rooted in feminist praxis (Lippard, 1997) and a self-reflexive narrative throughout all engagement activities (Minh-ha, 2020).
