 Last year I took part in Roo Dissou's project 'Courses for Discourses' held at Primary in Nottingham.
A night of celebration is being held to launch the Courses for Dis-Course(s) publication and podcasts. Courses for Dis-Course(s) by Roo Dhissou took the form of an exhibition and a series of events and dinners hosted by the artist with a group of British South Asian women and non-binary artists. Participating artists: Sonia Odedra, Kajal Patel, Pasha Kincaid, Mita Solanky, Yasmeen Thantrey, Usha Mahenthiralingam, A J Mills, Jagjit Kaur, Janhavi Sharma, Minder K Athwal, Xi’an and Sufea Noor. The project concludes with the launch of an 8-episode podcast and 500 page publication, It includes a catalogue of photographs taken during the project at GLOAM in Sheffield and Primary in Nottingham. The publication which is designed to be read alongside a digital soundscape in the form of a podcast also includes recipes and dining suggestions written by the artists who took part in the project.

Last May (2023) I was approached by PhD student Holly Drover (who works under the Wellcome Trust Leicestershire Health Inequalities Improvement Programme) to collaborate with her to devise an arts based workshop to investigate breathlessness for groups of people who have a range of conditions which affect their breathing. I designed a workshop for the groups using watercolour techniques to express how individuals felt about their breath and exploring their felt experience through embodied practices, of meditation and walking in nature. The workshops were held at Botanic Garden Leicester University in April 2024. And the results of the workshops alongside the research Holly conducted was presented in an exhibition on 3rd September this year. An article was published about the event here.
