RIVER POETRY WALK 

An urban river poetry walk curated for ramblers and psycho-geographers in Coventry. Designed and performed with poet George Ttoouli, the walk followed the route of the river Sherbourne from Food Union's allotment through Coventry's centre finishing at The Pod Cafe in time for supper. The walk included poems inspired by rivers from around the world as well as original poems exploring river disappearance in the face of climate breakdown. 

WINTER SPELLS

Part of an ongoing project that examines the hag figure through ritual, magic, and poetry. Winter Spells was developed in collaboration with a nutritionist who devised a warm drink using seasonal ingredients. 

Commissioned by The Pod Cafe and Food Union.
