Four corners London Creative Network artists development

I applied for LCN at Four Corners artist development and am happy to have been chosen to receive mentoring, talks and networking as well as access to the amazing archive held at Bishopsgate Institute. The programme runs for 6 months and includes being able to use their facilities.

I just finished my MASTERS!

I just finished my MA Fine Art at CSM in London- I have been making connections between a selection of hardcore feminist texts, from Irigaray and Cixcous to Kaja Silverman and Barbara Creed, Silvia Federici and importantly- Ellisa Marder- (amazing) the uses of the camera, and the maternal - I created a film ‘Working not Working’ which is now held in UAL’s student archive

24th September 2022 'The Museum of Sex Objects', is screening 'Beyond' at its residency at the Horse Hospital

The Museum of Sex Objects is taking over London’s legendary arts venue The Horse Hospital, Bloomsbury for a month-long residency in September. The museum boasts a bountiful array of never-before-seen objects, artworks and relics, straddling the boundary between folklore, art, and history. The Museum's compelling collection reveals the hidden tales of sexual heroes, moments, and places where assignations and confrontations changed the course of history…

The Museum is entrusted to The Keeper and her proxies, sworn to protect these objects and the stories they preserve for generations to come. The current Keeper, Deborah Sim, states: "Charting sexuality’s cultural origins is not easy, with clues often locked away in old documents or institutions, their truth deemed too subversive at the time. The Museum of Sex Objects’ mission is to bring history's blind spots into the light."

Talks and Screenings

Also throughout September, The Museum of Sex Objects is hosting talks with authorities on sexual history who will enlighten us on the link between witchcraft and the early LGBTQ+ community, the feminist appeal of Japanese rope art, Soho’s under-the-counter book trade, sacred rites for medieval sex workers, legendary leatherman Tom of Finland, and how one fetish pioneer went from running a No Cameras, word-of-mouth underground club scene to designing historically pertinent rubberwear for inclusion in a prestigious art collection. Plus films exploring eco-sexuality and the influence of black gay culture on film, fashion, dance and - well - everything!
