Community Co-Production Workshops

I regard participants as experts of their own lived experience. My role is to create accessible, safe, creative frameworks that allow their individual strengths and expertise to become visual, valued and woven into enduring collective audio and visual languages.

With training in Neurodiversity informed design and facilitation, I ensure workshops have adjustable pacing to accommodate different processing speeds, sensory needs are considered, communication styles and creative approaches. Stimming is welcome and breaks are honoured.

Developed through work with trauma survivors, my methods prioritise psychological safety, sensory grounding practices and the right to go at your pace of wellness, you may simply observe, or step back at any time.

I honour diverse knowledge systems and ancestral wisdom. Bringing cultural humility and sensitivity to communities navigating colonial legacies, racial injustice, and intergenerational trauma. My work with communities has reimagined colonial objects, photographs and narratives through critical creative practice and creative reinterpretation.

Through experimental, play based visual, tactile, sound making, poetry, discussion based practice, I provide diverse creative methods so that everyone can contribute meaningfully regardless of artistic confidence, literacy, language or ability. 

Community authorship is held at every stage. This is genuine co-creation where participants have meaningful influence over outcomes, not consultation after decisions are made.
