IMAGINING BETTER
WITH COMMUNITIES
All of the projects I work with have place and community at their heart and I work hard to be inclusive and collaborative in terms of how projects are developed and delivered. I am keen to develop new partnerships and projects and would love to hear from you if you have a project idea.
Collaborating For Change In Culture AND Heritage
NORTH SHIELDS 800
I am working with Remembering the Past, Resourcing the Future on a project developed from their ‘Gannin’ Shopping in Shields’ collection which shares memories of shopping in North Shields in the twentieth century. I am interviewing independent business owners in the town about why they chose to operate in Shields and their hopes for the town centre. This work will culminate with an exhibition in autumn 2025.

A Good Night Out in Chopwell
Whilst completing my PhD thesis I was awarded a grant from the Challenge Labs fund at Newcastle University towards a project which aimed to gather memories of the social life of the village of Chopwell, whilst providing a space for people to meet both virtually and in person and discover new opportunities to be social in the present. I created an exhibition which was shown in the Land of Oak Iron venues and held an event held in the village.
