I am a community photographer and arts facilitator with over 17 years of experience, dedicated to challenging stereotypes and combating stigma around the theme of migration. My participatory and therapeutic approach focuses on empowering migrants and refugees to share their stories through arts and photography, creating reflective and inclusive processes. By creating safer spaces, I promote togetherness, reflection, and the sharing of experiences.
I work with NGOs and charities as a facilitator and photographer, drawing on my background as a migrant to support participants in feeling at ease. I’m passionate about exploring innovative tools and approaches to enhance my community-based practice. I also teach analogue darkroom photography transitioning to sustainable practices, with a socially engaged focus on empowerment, sustainability, and climate justice.
