BIO
Working with film and moving image, my interest begins in the body and all it stores [transgenerational or otherwise] and the rituals, practices and happenings that jolt one into a reckoning with it. I draw on my Trinidadian upbringing and my positioning as a Black mixed-heritage person in the diaspora, seeking openings for nuanced, spatial, liberatory possibilities in response to rigid, oppressive, colonial responses within and outside of us. Utilising montage strategies, I rhythmically weave together dance, documentary elements, archive and analogue material and sound. I am interested in film as embodied experience, creating participatory screenings that invite the witness of human and other-than-human presences.
Having graduated from Kingston School of Art in 2021, I have recently completed an MA at Central Saint Martins in Performance: Screen. My work has been screened and exhibited at Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival (2021), Black Cultural Archives (2023), Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival (2021, 2022), and Folkestone Documentary Festival (2023), among others. I was recently commissioned to create and present a work-in-progress film and exhibition in Folkestone, for SALT + EARTH Festival (2024) and have held multiple screenings in the town, with the arts organisations Folkestone Fringe and Creative Folkestone. My work has also been featured in exhibitions at Soho House: White City Studios (2023) and Lyric Hammersmith (2022) Theatre in London.
I currently reside between Folkestone and London.
