An Ambiguous Utopia (2021)

An Ambiguous Utopia is a research and design contribution to the Institute of Network Culture’s Critical Meme Reader. It was conceived of as a productive fiction that investigates memes as small units of cultural DNA, with the power to shift political discourse and practice on- and offline.

The contribution makes use of visual design, storytelling, worldbuilding and futuring techniques to escape the constraints of the current moment and conjure scenarios set in alternative places and times.

Co-creation was a core to the process and invited plural perspectives into imagining futures. As part of this project I developed an online worldbuilding process that involved a wide range of participants.

The Others (2019)

This project is a thought experiment created in response to a call for radical visions for future government. It tells the story of an anarchist community, The Others, who form an autonomous economic sphere and evolve to carve previously unimaginable avenues of possibility into capitalist reality. They centre care and maintenance of all life, and use vitality rather than growth as a metric of success.

At it's core this is a vision for a solidarity economy that runs on a time-based currency – the one asset we hold in equal amounts, the one investment everyone has to make and the one resource impossible to reproduce – thus creating a basis for everyone. The Other Economy is symbiotic within itself while parasitic to the capitalist market economy. As it grows, it saps capital's power and liberates itself and the public imagination.

The Others was conceived and designed in collaboration with Jacob Chabeaux & published by Nesta in the Radical Visions for Future Government publication, which was launched at the Government Innovation Summit in 2019.

Tendencies #7 (2025)

Tendencies is a bulletin for people with socialist tendencies. This issue was inspired by archival research at the MayDay Rooms, an ‘archive, resource and safe haven for social movements, experimental and marginal cultures and their histories.’

The wild variety of rave paraphernalia inspired me to make posters for my own (potentially imaginary, potentially real) events for Love Underground and Naked Souls, which are previous projects of mine that also came out of archival research into queer histories.

The Autonomous Syllabus in Vol. 7 No. 1 (2025): GLAD-HE 2024 Post-Conference Publication

A poster summarising the intention, activation and impact of The Autonomous Syllabus, an open-access curriculum of the MA Design for Social Innovation and Sustainable Futures. It’s a course at University of the Arts, London, which I teach on and have been a core part of developing. 

My colleague Ella Britton and I first presented this work at the GLAD HE conference at Ulster University in Belfast in September 2024.
