Social Engagement & Participation

Story of You | Ithra Cultural Centre, Dammam. Saudi Arabia, 2024

 

Social engagement and participation are key to my practice.

As a practitioner and artist, I use photography to amplify the voices and narratives of individuals, with the ultimate goal of creating a positive societal impact. I aspire to collaborate with schools, youth groups, arts organisations, and adult communities to cultivate a collective body of work.

My creative journey is divided into three phases:

  1. Research and Development

  2. Collaborative Production

  3. Engaging Public Displays

Maintaining continuous communication with project participants is paramount, ensuring that our collective efforts shape the final visual compositions in an authentic and impactful manner.

I'm on a mission to shake up how people see art spaces. I want to create exhibitions and public displays of art that are welcoming for everyone, places that really stick with you long after you've visited.
