Developing Your Creative Practice (October 2025 - October 2026)

I am very grateful to share that I have been awarded Arts Council England funding through the Developing Your Creative Practice grant stream. This grant will support a year-long period of research and development, including artist residencies, studio-based practice, and mentorship from artists and curators.

Alongside this, I will be advised by both Mine Kaplangı and Giulia Casalini - who will assist me to develop a personal access rider and build new professional relationships as well as future exhibition opportunities.

Looking ahead to 2026, I have secured a residency at TANKS Arts Centre in Cairns (6th–26th April), as well as the exhibition Cartographies of Otherness (Mauricio Esquivel, Vaida Tamoševičiūtė & Benjamin Sebastian) at Meno Parkas Galerija in Kaunas (1st–30th November). I’m excited to see what further opportunities and collaborations will unfold during this period.

Throughout this R&D, I will continue to deepen my artistic research into decoloniality at the intersections of neurodivergence, queerness, and British/Australian settler-colonialism.
