I work with performance, sound, text, and moving image to interrogate imperial infrastructures and their undoing.
My research attends to material histories—from a river’s currents to the architecture of electromagnetic surveillance and large language models. My work has unfolded across the UK, the US, and Latin America, including residencies and collaborations at Serpentine, Modern Art Oxford, Wysing Arts Centre, Theatre Peckham, UNAM, and Universidad de los Andes. I hold a BA in English Literature from Cambridge University (2022) and an MA in Human Rights and the Arts from Bard College (2025), supported by awards. I also contribute to publishing, journalism, teaching, and activist projects.
