About me
I'm an art historian currently studying at Manchester School of Art, I'm particularly interested in minimalist design and modernist architecture. I have recently started giving talks about overshadowed women artists who have been written out of art history.
Projects
  • Forgotten Bauhaus Women
    Forgotten Bauhaus WomenAs we celebrate the centenary of the Bauhaus this year, I give an informal talk on forgotten Bauhaus women. Focusing on four individuals: Lucia Moholy-Nagy, Marianne Brandt, Otti Berger and Charlotte Beese, their work, and how the experience of the Bauhaus for these women was remarkably different from their male peers.
