The Second Act is a gallery that operates between Blackburn and East London delivering a programme with an emphasis on the inclusion of artists for the North; and also those from working class backgrounds to support the growth of a diverse eco-system of British artists. The gallery chooses to work with artists who make contemporary art with challenging concepts, narratives and research. She is also one half of Uncultured Creatives, a collaborative artist-curator duo established in partnership with Jamie Holman. The work they produce is characterised by the exploration of divided histories, sensitive content and the unification of diverse community participants through shared experiences of culture and class.
The Working-Class Creatives Database (WCCD) CIC is a volunteer-led platform that highlights the work of working-class creatives in the UK. It was founded in 2020 to provide a platform for working-class creatives, to establish a strong community between working-class artists around the region and tackle classism within the arts by improving accessibility, engagement and opportunities.
