Fugitive Voices
2020 - 2022 Fugitivity; Social media design; Salon lecture series.
Fugitive Voices is a series of conversations with guest artists and theorists, curated by Eleni Ikoniadou at the Royal College of Art.
Attempting to locate practices that seek to disrupt dominant narratives, official archives and existing models of knowledge production; driven by a collective commitment to dismantling and unlearning the histories of our discipline. As we’re spread across the world, due to the pandemic, occupying different continents and spacetimes, these conversations take place online.

End of first lecture series poster designed by myself as a collage formed of the previous artwork created during the year.
I collaborated with fellow students as part of the design team from 2020-2022.
We created visuals which were used to publicize the events as well as conceptualized methods of interacting with the critical material to provide a framework of knowledge that countinued beyond the lectures.

Abolish the Family
Sophie Lewis
Sophie Lewis is a writer based in Philadelphia, the author of Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family, a visiting scholar at Penn, and a teacher of courses on queer and trans feminism at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research. A member of the Out of the Woods collective, she writes and speaks widely on family abolition, ecology, and utopia.
For the images depicting Sophie Lewis’ session, I used archival material from maternity wards during the baby boom era in the United States. This period is a crucial moment defined in feminist literature as the beginning of familiar structures now considered the norm, something to which Lewis lends her critical eye to question.
