About
Socially engaged practise reinforces the links between creativity, wellbeing and positive change in communities. In 2017, she set up a social enterprise to develop an active and creative community embedded in arts and culture, which she advocates for as a human right. More recently, she has become interested in sustainable photographic practices and actions.
