Personal profile

Research interests

My research focuses on silence as a form of social resistance, especially when engaged by vulnerable and colonised communities. 

This year I completed a Techné AHRC funded PhD, exploring the social practice of Lefkaritika, a unique style of Cypriot needlework inscribed onto the United Nation’s ‘List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity’. Through extensive ethnographic fieldwork and creative practice, my research uncovers silences in the lacemakers lives both past and present, and how it acts as resistance within living heritage practice. 

I am a socially engaged practitioner, with many years experience of working with vulnerable communities to desing and lead creative programmes.
