MIDAIR is a co-created installation of photo mobiles on migration.
 

This installation project engaged with members of the local community who experienced migration to create mobiles of photographic memories of their past or present.

 

This project acknowledges the trauma experienced by migrants and the need to provide safe and caring communities of healing. It aimed at bringing visibility to the experiences of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers to enable connections with the larger community and create spaces of dialogue and creativity.

​

The installation consisted in inviting long established or newly established migrants, refugees and asylum seekers to share a picture as testimony of their experiences.

   

The project was commissioned by Bedford Creative Arts and created for Refugee Week 2022. It was displayed in central Bedford, St Paul's Church, between the 22nd and 26th June 2022.

​I am the creator, director, animator and curator of the Theatre of Lived Experience. I create visual, performative, spoken and written worlds to explore identity, belonging, shared meaning, inbetweenness and our relationship to otherness. My art work is mainly based on personal narratives to foster awareness, understanding and acceptance of one another. It aims at challenging perceptions, and opening creative spaces for reflection, dialogue and change. It is located at the intersection of the personal and the collective. I am interested in art as public and social intervention whereby audiences are involved as co-creators. Alongside this work, I also have more than 15 years' therapeutic experience with individuals and groups.

I am based in Bedford (UK).
