I am a writer, educator, independent scholar and artist based in London.

My thinking explores the unprecedented mutations of bodies in times of immense transformation. Working between the humanities, sciences and arts, my enduring interest in the contemporary conditions of embodied existence — how we are being re-shaped by pervasive biotechnologies and ecological destruction — informs my creative-critical writing and visual storytelling practice.

I currently teach across the Culture, Literature and Film programmes at The City Literary Institute, run my own independent courses and facilitate workshops and events.

Alongside my scholarly and creative work, I am experienced in freelance content creation, writing and research assistance - using my aptitude for translating complex ideas or niche topics into accessible and engaging material for diverse audiences. You can see my content writing portfolio here.

  • As part of the Antiuniversity Now Festival, I’ll be running a playful workshop, blending group discussion and collaborative arts practice to explore the resistant possibilities of our plastic bodies and create an amulet against optimisation.

    Coming from a queer-feminist, anti-colonial, anti-capitalist and neurodivergent perspective, we’ll consider how the body today is often understood as something to be managed, modified and optimised - from wearable technologies and beauty and wellness trends, to pharmaceutical interventions and “brain training” - and ask what other possibilities plasticity might offer.

    Across an hour and a half session, we will explore various dimensions of the plastic body that have been brought to light by the biosciences, reflect on our own experiences of the strange mutations taking shape in contemporary culture, and translate these reflections into a sculptural practice.

    Using clay and a mix of materials - plastic and technological waste, plant and mineral matters, found objects and ephemera - participants will craft an “amulet against optimization”: a small figure inspired by the 40,000-year-old Venus of of Hohle Fels, one of the earliest known representations of the human body in sculpture.

    Through this process, we will discover ways that the plasticity of our bodies could be a source of resistance: grounding collective practices of care and alternative imaginaries of human nature. Participants will come away with an object imbued with these reflections: a touchstone for imagining forms of identity and embodiment that resist consumer-capitalism and oppressive hierarchies of gender, race, class and ability.
