Somerset House – Amplify Residency

Somerset House – Amplify Residency

From November 24-28, 2020 I have been invited to participate in a special 1-week online residency with other participants of the Amplify D.A.I. program hosted by Somerset House (London, UK). During the 1-week residency I will attend workshops, artist talks and present my work with other participants of the 2020 Amplify Digital Arts Initiative (D.A.I.) cohort. Amplify connects and empowers an active network of women-identifying artists and professionals working in the digital arts, sound and immersive storytelling sectors in Canada, Latin America and the UK.
