Biography

I am an architecture curator, writer and educator, with research interests in history and critical theory, spanning feminist, post-/de-colonial and ecological, borders, migration, politics and post-conflict cities.

I previously worked as Displays Curator at the Design Museum, London, where I co-developed the exhibitions David Adjaye: Marking Memory (2019), Beazley Designs of the Year (2019 and 2020) and Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers (2020), among others. I have also worked in a curatorial capacity in the Architecture and Design Department at The Museum of Modern Art, NYC, and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham.

Having grown up on the border of Northern Ireland, I am interested in the cultural and political processes of bordering through critical spatial practice. I produce research on the post-conflict urban landscapes of Belfast and Derry, and co-run a research project, System of Systems, that examines the spatial, bureaucratic and technological migration landscapes in and beyond Europe.

I have taught architecture and design history and theory at the University of Limerick, Central Saint Martins, London College of Communication (UAL) and Birmingham City University. I am a Young Trustee of the Architecture Foundation, celebrating lesser-known voices within the sector.
