I organise migrant solidarity work, creative participation programmes and socially engaged artistic commissions in Bristol and other parts of the UK. I am excited to learn more from overseas about how migrant justice organising is supported through long-term socially engaged artistic practice.

I aim to visit a range of inspiring projects, artists and migrant organisers across Denmark, Sweden and the USA during my Fellowship. I hope to gain insight into the creative practices and approaches that can support us to build cultures of 'radical hospitality', strengthening collaboration, creativity and care with and for migrants, including refugees and people seeking asylum.

Some argue that we do not have a migration crisis - we have a crisis of hospitality. I believe in the power of long-term, embedded artistic practice in communities to offer us new ways to create spaces of safety and belonging across difference. I hope that my learning can inform this work within my local area of Bristol and support the growth of this work across the UK.
