Subject of Study: Collaboration in Research & Artistic Practice', Common Ground, University of Manchester (paper and panel)
‘The Subject of Study – Collaboration in Research and Artistic Practice’ is aimed at exploring research collaborations in academic and artistic practice. The conference opens with an afternoon of researcher lead discussion, exploring different forms of collaborative practice and relationships between the agency of individuals engaged in collaborative research and the institutional or disciplinary context in which they operate. This is followed by an early evening Reception and Keynote by artist, writer and educator, Anthony Luvera whose work explores tensions between authorship (or artistic control) and participation, and the ethics involved in representing other people’s lives. This event has been made possible through the generous support of the University of Manchester’s arts methods and the North West Consortium Doctoral Training Partnership.

'Agorophobia: Spaces Within' Symposium 2013
Architecture is redolent with gendered codification and representation: enclosure, vestibule, threshold, entrance, cloister, claustrum. However, it was/is my intention to reiterate the boundaries, as well as seek out the ‘liminal’ in-between spaces/places. Where inside and outside become interchangeable, boundaries dissolve, hesitant, indecisive, on the verge of transition.

SEE: Undressing Identity Symposium 2013
This body of work refers to the curious erotic custom of ‘Chinese foot binding’, - the art of making living matter insensible and inanimate.
The images address forgotten subjectivities, whilst simultaneously portraying the ephemeral and temporal subjugation of the female form (psychological and physical).
The allegorical treatment and aesthetic embodiment of the feet become a metaphor for ‘limits and expectations’. The muted, dark, scratched and distressed images present a melancholic public disclosure, concerned and perpetuated by socially constructed ideas and ideals of ‘beauty’.
