hi i’m Dionne, a transdisciplinary artist, spacemaker, writer, teacher, dj, creative producer,  somatic + embodiment explorer based between the uk and Norway, via the Caribbean. 

my practice entwines art, ecology, embodiment + care

i focus on accessible, inclusive, sustainable and socially-engaged practice, 
Spacemaking, community building experiences in ‘unusual’ spaces, 
internationally and online. 

i’m interested in Other ways of Being, 
creating soft + tender transformation, 
and infinite possibilities 💫

some context for potential collaborators…


My particular ‘lenses’ of the world are shaped by being a black, mixed-heritage (to use the language of this particular moment of time*), transnational, transcultural, disabled, survivor, person-living-with-a-chronic-illness, neurodivergent-spicy-emergent human from a working-class background, amongst many Other multifaceted ways of Being…

I’m invested in co-creating more inclusive, accessible, sustainable ways of being which are trauma responsive, compassionate and non-snooty. 

I’m interested in equity, agency, infinite possibilities and freedom for us all. Holding space for kindness and compassion and spaciousness in our healing processes of learning-unlearning-untangling + all the glorious moments in-between is important to me as creatures of this earth, ever-in-process. 

*Sidenote: i’m reluctant to attach myself to labels unless they feel liberatory so using language which feels resonant at this moment in time and holding space for the ✨power✨ language has, as well as the ✨potential✨ it holds for change. I am as much of a ‘student-learner-beginner’ as i am an ‘elder millennial’, holder of ‘decades of experience’ and ‘qualifications’ and ‘artist-teacher-facilitator-spaceholder + maker’. These things co-exist and i’m happy for that to be so (ever-learning-unlearning-reframing-refining-remixing-always!) 💜
