Richmond Arts and Ideas Festival takes place across the borough of Richmond bienially. Piloted in 2023, the festival returned to Richmond in 2025 as a celebration of arts, culture, and community building.
Inspired by a theme, events fill venues and streets over two weeks in June. There are moments that provoke noisy ideas, thoughts, and discussions as well as moments for quiet reflection. What unites this festival is the opportunity to seek a more positive future though art and culture.
In 2025 the festival included over 70 events across 40 venues, including outdoor performances, exhibitions, screenings, installations, comedy and music events.

Senseshift took place at Glastonbury 2025 as part of Science Futures.
Senseshift was a interactive, science-driven experience that explored the boundaries of perception, sensory stimulation, and mental wellness. Through engaging and thought-provoking activities, Glastonbury-goers immersed themselves in sensory deprivation, sensory overload, and illusions that highlight the fascinating capabilities of the brain. The experience was designed to raise awareness about mental health and neurodiversity in a fun and accessible way.
The Living Library Collection reflects on the historical actions and injustices that have led to the current climate crisis and explores diverse solutions to build a climate-resilient world, based on solidarity and collective action.
The air we breathe, the food we eat and the land we live on are vital to human survival. Although the Earth’s climate has changed throughout time, scientific research shows that recent, more drastic changes result from human activity. Natural habitats are being devastated by these changes. Legacies of exploitation and inequality have played a role in creating the crisis, and continue to load the worst health and socioeconomic impacts on vulnerable communities. But there is still hope. Inspired by the ways some communities are responding to the challenges we face, we can build a society based on closer connections to the more-than-human world.

This exhibition was the culmination of a series of public photo walks and cyanotype workshops organised by Urban Heat Collective throughout 2023 and 2024. It explores different photographic techniques and delves into how heat accumulates in our cities and what measures might help disipate it. In a time of changing climates, the exhibition challenges our idea of what a pleasant place to live might be, and invites visitors to wonder what liveable cities may look like in the future.
Audiences we encouraged to venture through diverse urban climate environments and discover how photography can help us better understand what makes a pleasant place.

Urban Heat Collective s a collaborative project with urban heat researcher Dr Oscar Brousse and photographer Andrew Brown. The project explores the factors that affect how people feel in urban environments, focusing particularly on heat and urban micro-climates.
As the Urban Heat Collective we designed and ran a series of urban heat walks in Hackney and Newham, in which we used alternative photographic processes (including cyanotype printing, near infra-red photography and thermal imaging) to explore the complex interaction between solar radiation and the built and natural environment, and invite participants to reflect on the benefits of green and blue spaces in cities and how we might actively respond to escalating climate change.
Each walk took participants through five distinct urban micro-climates. We ran a workshop at the Great Get Together on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in May 2024, which attracted over 350 participants. The walks and workshops provided the basis for an exhibition at UCL Marshgate (3rd October 2024 to 17th January 2025), which we designed to follow the structure of the walks.
Between 2017- 2022 I was the Editor-in-chief for PLASMA Magazine, where I edited articles and interviews for the print and online issues, as well as commissioned journalistic features within the worlds of technology, science and contemporary art.
This new temporary solo exhibition presents Jason Wilsher-Mills joyful exploration of the body and illness. Commissioned by Museums Journal, this review explores how the artist channelled his childhood trauma into art and what we can do to make exhibition spaces accesible to all.
