Frameworks for contested landscapes and heritage, built on two decades of making things

Heritage researcher, designer, producer

I develop participatory methodologies for analysing contested heritage — built on twenty years of creative practice in costume & set design, international arts production and outdoor experiential education. My PhD at the University of Roehampton examines what happens when feminist and postcolonial frameworks encounter conflicting narratives in English countryside landscapes. Previously: NYC producer at The FIGMENT Project, Director of Participation at FestivALT Kraków, costume designer catalogued by the V&A. Based in Israel.
