11th and 12th September 2026

Attended a two-day international conference hosted by the Centre for Art and Ecology, Goldsmiths, University of London. ‘DOING ECOLOGY OTHERWISE’: 
Pathways for Art and Transdisciplinary Collaboration in Ecosocial Change

‘Doing Ecology Otherwise addresses the imaginative, sensory, material and embodied capacities of art to address urgent ecological challenges. Drawing on essential insights from Natasha Myers and Lola Olufemi on the potentiality of imagining and acting ‘otherwise’, the conference explores how art can hold space for new understandings, practices, relations and structures of feeling that may be marginalised in mainstream scientific and environmental action’

September – November 2026

I am currently working with The Arts Collective and C2C Social Action on a project for The Arts Collective’s ‘Climate Kitchen Programme’, which explores the relationship between food, climate, culture and collective life. The Arts Collective  ‘is a contemporary art organisation rooted in Northampton and shaped by artists’. C2C Social Action using a person-centred approach, work with women and men involved in the criminal justice system.

Titled ‘Sharing Stories and Breaking Bread: Autumn Comfort and Conversation’, I’m working with women to co-create a two-course meal using food harvested from the C2C Grows Allotment Garden and The Arts Collective Hydroponics Room.

For the meal, which will be held in The Northampton Rooms, inspired by the theme ‘An English Cottage Garden’ we’re decorating the room using natural found materials from the allotment and bunting which we will have crafted and dyed naturally using plants from the allotment. The bunting will then go on to be in residence within the C2C Grows Allotment Garden.
