In April 2022 I rejoined the End of The Road team as their accreditation manager, overseeing and systematising the accreditation of all the people entering the festival as artists, guests, performers, traders, volunteers and workers.
This management work is a great counterweight to producing my own projects - including a small festival - and allows me to get to grips with the broader organisation of a green field festival, and the satisfaction of being part of facilitating and realising a festival I love.
ISODEA is a one day festival which takes place in Barreiro, on the south side of the Targus/ Tejo a ferry ride from Lisbon.
The festival aims to present a majority of womxn and non-binary artists, and other under represented groups. The progamming - music, performing arts and interactive elements - is guided by the space, and in some cases the performances are directly site specific.
The festival was created with Zarya Austin-Fell, and the first edition was co-produced with Liza Vasilieva from Invisible Sounds.
Since June 2021 I have been helping Daily Life Limited, the artist studio and organisation started by feminist artist Bobby Baker, with their Art Council England NPO reporting and helped them with a number of office manager tasks while working remotely.
Working with Bobby Baker and her team was a real pleasure and and great a source of inspiration being around such a visionary team with real integrity.

International Creative Producers
In conjunction with Fanny Martin ; Bridget Mackintosh; Chloë Richardson; and Daniela Gerstman and I'm part of a newly formed Learning Collective
With funding from the Canadian Arts Council the collective experimented with new technology, tools, and associated behaviours in developing best practice for collaborating and co-creating. We invited guests to guide and evaluate our process.
-As a collective we supported each other in learning new skills while drawing on each others experience and differing professional networks.
Our work was first aimed at learning together and sharing our learning in bigger circle beyond ourselves.
I'm a resident and active party in the venue development group at Arroz Studios in Lisbon.
Arroz is an Art Association and which houses a DIY venue, artist studios and works co-working spaces. The space is run collectively and is on the forefront of grass roots arts in Lisbon while also involved the burgeoning crypto art scene in the city.
This includes being part of the awareness team as well as being part of the planning group for the artist residency Planting A.I.R.
The space is currently on the east side of the city.
At the end of 2020 I was a researcher (gleaner) in Feminist tools for commoning on the forthcoming report and platform 'A Home for Commons' which was the culmination of a 3 year long, cross European project Cultural Creative Spaces and Cities spearheaded by the cultural centre network Trans Europa Halles.
The resulting report and online toolkit can be found here.
The pretext for this was the policy co-creating experiment Co-Creation Lab Commons Sense: Let’s Create a Bottom-Up European Democracy And the follow up experiment Common Ground: Building a Foundation for Homes of Commons .
