ABOUT ME

I am a curator, writer, and researcher from Blackburn, Lancashire. My work traces the entanglements of abolitionism and carceral capitalism, attending to the cultural forms through which systems of control are produced, sustained, and legitimised.

My practice is grounded in collaboration, working with artists, thinkers, and communities to unsettle institutional logics and foreground processes of unlearning. Curating, for me, is not a neutral act of display but a mode of inquiry that tests the limits of institutions, prioritising care, resistance, and mutuality over conventions of stewardship or ownership.

My writing and projects refuse easy separation between theory and practice. Drawing on radical pedagogy and social justice traditions, my work seeks to create spaces where critique and collective imagination can take place — spaces that confront dominant narratives while holding open the possibility of liberatory futures beyond punishment and confinement.

This site gathers my writing, curatorial projects, and ongoing research. It is both portfolio and archive, and a point of contact for collaboration, commissioning, dialogue.
