Art Practice | Current
My current practice explores social and cultural positionality and the complexities of my own intersectional identities. This reflexive practice includes considerations of gender
identity from feminist perspectives, sexuality and social expectations, and my identity as Romani, including my relationship to family, culture and ethnicity, and experiences of forced assimilation, racism and the complexities of 'belonging'.
Current Practice
My art practice incorporates my use of photography, self portraiture, film and found object sculpture. Combinations of which I often play with and reconfigure to exhibit as multi component installations or photo essays that explore the many faceted, intersectional and ever shifting narratives associated with identity formation and sense of self in social, political and personal contexts.
Exhibitions and Work Installation
Some works shown in group exhibitions are not mine.
Community Engagement, Workshops, Art Therapy Workshops, Artist Mentoring, Q&As and Artist Talks.
I enjoy running bespoke workshops or artists mentoring sessions as well as providing artists talks. All responding to a projects community engagement needs which I see as an extension of my art practice and a way of informing my ongoing making. I have worked with groups of children and adults and have enjoyed working with Romani, Roma and Romani diaspora adults and children who have settled in the UK. I see my work with communities, artists talks and Q&As as both informing my ongoing practice and as an extension of my anti oppression and anti racism activism, challenging stereotypes and building understanding of difference between communities.
