FESTIVAL PRODUCER

An exhibition by artist Eelyn Lee featuring a new film commissioned for Richmond Arts and Ideas Festival as part of, Imagining the Forest. In honour of the critically endangered European Eel, Anguilla Anguilla, way of the eel, depicts a floating procession on the River Thames. Guided by a polyphony of voices, an eel deity drifts downriver - an embodiment of loss and grief, transforming into an incantation of healing. While devising this new mythology, Eelyn Lee and her collaborators considered what they could learn from eels if they viewed them as collaborators.

VITAL SIGNS: Living Library@ SCIENCE GALLERY LONDON
CREATIVE PRODUCER
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.

A pleasant place @ UCL
CREATIVE PRODUCER
This exhibition is 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.
Venture through diverse urban climate environments and discover how photography can help us better understand what makes a pleasant place.
