Co-Learning / Teaching
I am passionate about learning and co-learning and teaching, and access, and am active in the art world and higher education, and in entrepreneurship.
The situations and conditions that I seek out and create help me deepen and share the processes and results of my learning in practice and research. Importantly, they bring me together with others, in the spaces where I learn best, rapidly and with joy.
As an artist with decades of experience working internationally to devise and situate learning projects that form a core part of my artistic practice, my work has grown through shared continuous learning, with the aim of making a positive impact on the art world and every other sector that my work is part of.
What I do in academia as a female Professor and former Dean includes having supporting potential applicants to enter the higher education environment, co-building early learning approaches with Undergraduate students, directing Masters courses, supervising PhD candidates and devising taught programmes and research programmes. In each of these contexts my artistic practice has been at the heart, with international student-inclusive projects acting as a way to understand, communicate, perform and present societally-relevant subject-matters publicly.
In my belief that education is a right for all and to develop my commitment to access issues, I am a University Support Worker, supporting students with disabilities to ensure their inclusion within the academic community.
The Museum of Loss and Renewal’s residency programmes and its publishing activities are the sites where my attentiveness, care, expertise, knowledge and skills come together. The Museum of Loss and Renewal is an art project that is enriched and grows through the energy and focus of each of the remarkable residents, collaborators and partners whose presences open new and magical doors into ways of working, practices of being and the creative investigation of what life is.
