The Inquiry

How does the written word function as a tool for grounding, memory repair, and community unlearning? This page is a selection of my text-based and narrative practices exploring the relationship between language, the social body, and structural care.

Practice-Based Research as a Site of Care

My text practice spans several open, low-barrier formats designed to build community across distance:
  • a space to land: My multimedia love-letter-news-zine sustained since 2010 (on Substack since 2020), which acts as a home for regular freewrite community rituals that entwine embodiment, craft, and writing.
  • Body Dialogues: My published interview with Oli Lipski for Shado Magazine, addressing how moving away from creative burnout and toward a culture of rest and resolution can support disability justice.
  • I Feel For You Podcast: My ongoing audio space initiated in 2017, using audio documentation and storytelling archives (such as 'Storytime from the year 2000') to map memory and presence.
  • Institutional Reports: My official research report exploring alternative arts pedagogies and structural access, published via the Central Saint Martins Changemaker publication (2024).

i’ve been running explorative writing and embodiment workshops in Norway, UK and beyond since 2010 which weave in multiple modalities including text. Have a peek at a writing + embodiment project I shared at the Literature house in Bergen, Norway, here. you can find my freewrite community rituals over on a space to land. I aslo host freewrites for community,  entwining embodiment and writing, craft and community.
