I am a researcher and writer exploring whiteness, ‘diversity’ initiatives, and decolonisation in the UK’s museum spaces.

My work explores artistic and curatorial praxis in exhibiting ‘race’ and colonialism in ways that do not further re-objectifying those long ‘Othered’, and how museums can engage white audiences — and themselves — to see whiteness and the structures they stand within.

I am a Doctoral Researcher in Museum Studies at the University of Leicester, funded by AHRC Midlands4Cities, and based in Bristol.

I’ve worked as a Collections Researcher with the Migration Museum, researching migration stories within Bristol Museums’ collections and archives; as a researcher for OPAL22 on the 2023 exhibition Casta: The Origins of Caste at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery; and as an Assistant Curator at Art Space Life Space, Bristol.

I hold an MA in Black Humanities from the University of Bristol and a BSc in Social Sciences and Politics from The Open University.

My practice moves between research, writing, and poetry, tracing the spaces where care, critique, and creativity meet. Through poetry, I explore class, race, and belonging, using creative expression to complement and extend my research, and to open dialogue across lived experiences and institutional spaces.
