Art, activism, aesthetics & AI (SCANDI presentation) Includes short videos

My presentation offers a look at my practice-based research exploring Black British female identity through art, activism, and AI.

The Anthro-Digital Narratives (ADN) framework and EthnoGo mobile app, both created and developed by me, are key components; they support a wider investigation into representation, intersectionality, and digital storytelling.

My presentation includes autoethnographic reflection, visual ethnography, community-based work, and AI-driven creative practice.

Showcasing practical tools and original methodologies for marginalised researchers and artists navigating both academic and cultural spaces, all while reclaiming narrative authority in tech, media, and art.
