Octogenarian Deliveroo Driver, 2025

In February 2025 I took ‘Octogenarian Deliveroo Driver’ (B-Road Basher Series) to Oxford Brookes School of Art for an experiential workshop that explores the politics of care, public space and visibility, socio-economic mobility. The scooter imagines life for precarious freelancers who will need to work past retirement age. Aside from hoiking around a range of food delivery bags (brimming full of takeaway food boxes) and a re-purposed motorbike headlamp (enabling freelancers to work at all hours), there is also a phone featuring specially produced sound design (the HMRC helpline hold music on repeat), courtesy of Ordos Studio

B-Road Bashers talk 2024- 2025

The talks and workshops enable me to explore the ethical dimensions of co-creating and collaborating work with people caught between social, economic and political constraints and how I navigate different working cultures.
Taking the scooters around the UK on public transport is an eye opening experience which adds empathetic insights. During the talks and workshops so far, participants have shared insightful and moving reflections relating to lived experiences of disability, disability led artistic practice and the wider issues facing precariat workers.
