I am most interested in discussion and conversation and how to involve an audience in political thought. I write and draw and make performances and try to create spaces and opportunities for conversations that encourage people to question their personal politics.

The work I have created through the project has been in one part, looking into mapping the conversations that we have been having as a collective and the breadth of them through word maps. The other part has been putting together a panel discussion, in a way mirroring the panel in the film ‘Baldwin’s Nigger’ but bringing together people from different generations, experiences and fields of work to discuss the questions raised in the film and how we relate to them today.
