I’m a freelance audio producer and journalist living in Cape Town, South Africa with a Masters in English Literature from Oxford University.
I have made audio documentaries on a wide range of subjects – from contemporary South African art, to a woman’s intimate reflections on her son’ suicide, to an electronic symphony featuring Einstein Fix, a tiny cell phone and laptop repair shop in Cape Town’s city centre. My work tends to focus on memory and violence, and the ways in which past traumas (both personal and political) continue to inform and haunt the present.
Previously (2015 – 2022), I worked for the Institute for Creative Arts (ICA), an interdisciplinary arts institute based in the University of Cape Town’s Humanities Faculty. My role at the ICA included co-editing the award-winning volume Acts of Transgression: Contemporary Live Art in South Africa, and creating and producing The ICA Podcast.
All of my work, in words and in sound, is propelled by a belief in the power of careful listening, and words carefully chosen.
