In Autumn 2024 I am collaborating with the University of Sheffield on their “Ethnicity and Unequal Aging” project. 

 

The research looks at how intersections such as ethnicity, religion, migranthood, gender, disability, sexuality and socio-economic position shape levels of wellbeing and experiences of social inclusion/exclusion across the life course of individuals based in Sheffield and Rotherham. 

 

I will be working in Rotherham, in partnership with ROAR and three more artists to lead a bespoke creative programme for people who took part in the first phases of the research. 

 

Working with the elders, we will co-produce a creative reflection based on their lived experiences and what they want to communicate to their communities, local decision makers and other stakeholders. 

 

The programme runs from the 18th September to 4th December every Wednesday. A public sharing of work will take place at the end of November at ROAR.
