I am a writer and independent arts and culture critic, editor, copywriter, and literary and arts events producer based in London. I am Deputy Editor at Wasafiri and a senior editor and columnist at the South Asian Avant-Garde Anthology.

Previously, I was a founding editor-in-chief of Postscript Magazine, a global, online, independent literary-arts publication based in the UAE, for five years.

My primary interests include cosmopolitanism, migration, postcolonial feminism, diasporic narratives and relationships to the nation-state, and intersections of all of the above within visual art, literature, and film. Due to my own background, I prioritise covering creative practices from the Global South, particularly the South Asian, SWANA, and southern African regions. I also publish creative work, largely life writing, poetry, and hybrids of these forms. I was the first writer-in-residence at Bayt al Mamzar in Dubai and I’ve previously spoken about my practice here, for the Khosh Bosh podcast.

As a critic, I write about visual art and books as well as general cultural criticism. I also have copywriting and editorial experience for social media, luxury hotels and brands, commercial publishing projects, and arts PR.

My arts reporting on shows and exhibitions spans the following cities:
Abu Dhabi, Basel, Berlin, Dubai, Dublin, Edinburgh, Istanbul, London, Metz, Nîmes, Oxford, Paris, Rhein, Sharjah, Turin, Vienna, and Winterthur.

I am always open for writing commissions or collaboration opportunities. Please find my portfolio in the Writing tab, and wider work in the Photography and Programming & Events tabs.
