I am an artist based between Sheffield and Liverpool, interested in publishing, broadcasting, and experimental approaches of working with sound. Drawing on frameworks from cultural studies and Black studies, my work critically engages with Black sonic practices and histories of resistance, exploring sound as archive, oral history, and method to examine how it can function as a site of knowledge production, collective memory, and political possibility. My recent research investigates how Western norms of ownership and property shape the circulation of music, access to land, and wider relationships to place, situating these questions within debates on race, coloniality, and cultural production. Through this approach, I develop sound-based methods attentive to the entanglements of power, aesthetics, and everyday life.
I am a resident on NTS Radio, where I’ve hosted Tough Matter, a monthly show of experimental music and sound since 2017. I have been organising Open Deck, a series of gatherings giving space to collectively listen and hold discussion around embodied knowledges and relationships to music, sound, memory and oral histories. I have exhibited work and performed at arts organisations and festivals including: V&A Museum, Frieze London, Turner Contemporary, Arts Catalyst, Primary, Horst Arts & Music Festival, No Bounds Festival, We Out Here Festival and more. In 2024 I was recipient of the Serpentine’s Support Structures for Support Structures fellowship award. I teach on the BA Fine Art programme at Liverpool John Moores University where I am also currently completing an MA in Fine Art.
