Work with Archives

Voluntary Visiting Library Fellowship in Special Collections & Archives, Goldsmiths University of London, to develop new skills and perspectives on archiving, cataloguing, preservation and digitisation. Kindly supported in this learning by Lesley Ruthven, Alexander Du Toit, and Althea Greenan (of the Womens Art Library). 2018-2020.

The WRPM Legacy Project – Preserving, sharing and activating the Women’s Revolutions Per Minute archive was a collaboration with Hilary Friend (WRPM Director) and Lesley Ruthven (Special Collections & Archives Manager, Goldsmiths University of London). Activities included securing funding for catalogue completion, and a residency with scholar and artist Holly Ingleton, “Talkin bout a revolution”. 2016-2018.

Collecting Objects Sounding was a collaboration with Ian Stonehouse and Graham Dunning that culminated in a day of performances talks and installations exploring collections, archives, and objects, and their possibility for animation in sound and music. The Stanley Glasser Electronic Music Studios, June 2015.

I founded the project Editions of You to celebrate and showcase self-publishing and self-releasing musicians and the handmade editions and releases they create. Core activities include curating and housing a physical archive of handmade releases and zines, and supporting independent artists and small labels by running a not-for-profit distro. A core establishing event for the project was the 2011 festival, funded by ACE, and organised in collaboration with the O3 Gallery and Oxford Contemporary Music, that included a gallery exhibition, gig and talk series, and zine fair. Core activities, particularly distro, 2011-2019.
