RICHMOND ARTS AND IDEAS FESTIVAL @ ORLEANS HOUSE GALLERY
FESTIVAL PRODUCER
Richmond Arts and Ideas Festival is an event that takes place across the borough of Richmond (and beyond). Piloted in 2023 and due to take place again in 2025, the festival is 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.
ROYAL INSTITUTION CHRISTMAS LECTURES (2022, 2023, 2024) @ BBC4
PRODUCTION MANAGER
Initiated by Michael Faraday in 1825 when organised education for children was scarce, the Christmas Lectures established an exciting new way of presenting science to young people. World-famous scientists have given the Lectures, including Nobel Prize winners William and Lawrence Bragg, Sir David Attenborough, Carl Sagan and Dame Nancy Rothwell. Broadcast on BBC 4 yearly to an audience of over 3 million viewers.
I have worked as the Production Manager for the Lectures between 2022-25.
SUMMER SCIENCE EXHIBITION 2022 @ ROYAL SOCIETY
EVENTS PROGRAMME MANAGER
The Summer Science Exhibition is a 5 day festival exploring the latest advances in science and technology in the UK. I curated and delivered the events programme which run alongside the exhibition and included art and science workshops such as cyanotype workshops exploring the first cyanotype prints by Anna Atkins at the Royal Society’s collection, embroidery workshops delving into neuroscience and interactive sound exhibits.
A Pleasant place @ UCL
CREATIVE PRODUCER
This is a collaborative project with urban heat researcher Dr Oscar Brousse and photographer Andrew Brown. The aim was to explore 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.
