I make work about imperial infrastructures and their undoing.
In my research, I examine material histories, from those held in rivers to electromagnetic surveillance systems and large language models.
This informs a sound, video and performance practice, which has led me from various spaces in the UK to the US and Latin America, including Wysing Arts Center, Theatre Peckham, Modern Art Oxford, UNAM and Universidad de los Andes.
My studies have focused on the history and politics of digital networks. I received awards and scholarships for my BA in English Literature at Cambridge University (2022) and my MA in Human Rights and the Arts at Bard College (2025). I also volunteer for various community and activist projects, and have worked in publishing, journalism and teaching.
