Co-Creation
I’ve moved within co-created spaces throughout my adult life -
in D.I.Y spaces, temporary autonomous zones, festivals, clown collectives,
theatre collaborations, peoples kitchens, community centres,
in care work and activist projects.
These experiences are intrinsic to the way I perceive the world and work with others.
I’m currently involved in these creative collectives:
Balm & Tonic Fooling Collective (2023 - now)
A peer led soft play space for fools.
Some influences and shared languages that current group members have in common include: Holly Stoppit (fooling & therapeutic clowning), Franki Anderson (fooling) and mindfulness.
After School Art Club (2023 - now)
A peer led art collective informed and structured along collaborative, co-operative and collective principles.
The group is formed with alumni of the course:
Art + Critique: Critical & Contextual Studies in Art Practice
- facilitated by Sophia Kosmaoglou

The Cube is an independent, volunteer run arts venue/social project/adult creche in Bristol.
Presenting music, cabaret, discussions, amateur film-makers nights, children's events,
performance art, comedy, film and other events that can't easily be categorized.

Previous collectives I’ve worked with include:

With a mixture of people working in art, film, performance, publishing and fashion, the school focuses on collaboration and consensus decision-making and each incoming year the cohort designs the school anew.
