Little Bio

Creative Community Organiser based in Leeds UK

I’m always looking for that sweet spot where art, activism and community meet and expand outwards in messy, concentric circles. I organise events and activities to bring people together and spread some hope in hopeless times, create art from resistance and make collective power building fun✊🏻.
