Creative Producer with Risky Cities at the University of Hull (2022)
The Risky Cities project uses science, arts and heritage to
explore how we can build climate awareness and flood resilience today and for the future.
By gathering Hull-based stories of flooding we will learn how our communities have learnt to
live with water over the past 800 years.
Risky Cities brings communities and creatives together to build a programme of exciting
interactive performances and experiences and we want you to be involved.
