Decolonising The Outdoors (2024–present)
In 2024 I launched Decolonising The Outdoors after feeling disillusioned by my local conservation groups. I also noticed a lack of spaces that focused on connection to nature where communities (particularly marginalised people) are included in this definition. Since then, the project has expanded to examine relationships between wider environmental and social justice issues, to build anti-capitalist and queer futures, and to advocate for racial justice as an inherent component of climate justice.
What memories does this soil hold? (2025)
A collaborative poetry project, "What memories does this soil hold?" was commissioned by Hidden Door Arts Festival as part of their 2025 programme. Researched and developed over three months, the piece centres the festival's venue — an abandoned Paper Factory — exploring movement, mapping and environmental relationships in the face of industrial and urban change, interweaving archival material gathered from site visits and online databases. It was written and performed in conjunction with Zain Rishi, and debuted as a 30 minute performance in June 2025.
Safe space (2025)
My short film "safe space" looks at finding care through the experience of an ESEA migrant in rural Scotland. It explores the idealisation of the British countryside, including the narrative that ‘nature is healing’, while challenging the individualistic view on self-care. It premiered at Extra Rice Film Festival in London in March 2025 and has subsequently been screened at Rooted Beings' festival in Brighton and Sett Studios' exhibition as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival.
Unfracturing (2024)
This photography series celebrates the nurturing and tenderness among queer women and nonbinary people of colour with each other and with our surroundings. "Unfracturing" speaks to a process of healing and communality in a colonial landscape. The photographs have featured in the International Women's Day exhibition at Mono in Glasgow, Goddess Arts Magazine's exhibition and magazine, and Queer As Muck's Thicket exhibition at Sett Studios in Edinburgh.
Self-portrait (2023–2024)
In April 2024, my project "Self-portrait" was exhibited at Arkade Gallery in Aberdeen. This was part of a group exhibition showcasing the work of therapeutic photography course participants. My abstract photography and poetry drew connections between my identity and nature, representing my sense of loss and belonging as a migrant and person of mixed heritage.
