When I first heard about Agência de Redes para a Juventude (The Agency) about 6 years ago I thought that this would be a dream project to work on, here I am 6 years later and the dream, has come true.

The first time I heard about the Agency I was drawn to the project, its ethos, its approach, the possibilities a…

Late last year I was fortunate to be awarded a Creative Wales Award from the Arts Council Wales. 

Im interested in the 3rd Industrial Revolution and what roles art can/will play in the revolution.

Hello all.
