FABLE ARTS

An arts organisation that curated concerts, exhibitions and events across music, visual art, writing and science, and paid every artist it worked with.

I co-founded it with Victoria Pham in 2020. We directed it together until 2023, and I directed it on my own from then until 2026. Projects included The Parts We Give, a video game for Christine Pan's song cycle, and Navigating Distance and Closeness with Niki Johnson and Hamish Upton, whose ceramic instruments you can play online.
