Who & What?
I am a multidisciplinary artist and bilingual writer interested in exploring identity, race and gender. I have published a few short fictions in various anthologies, written plays, performed solo and group shows and storytelling and exhibited work in galleries such as Manchester Art Gallery, Whitworth Art Gallery, The Lowry, HOME, Z arts, Factory International and Contact Theatre.
About the person behind the words
Education
I graduated with a PhD in Pharmacy from the University of Manchester. The time devoted to writing and rewriting my PhD thesis awakened part of me that was long disappeared. With the writer component of me returning back to me, I changed direction and step into the world of Arts. Now I stand somewhere between the rigour of science and flexibility of the Arts.
Employment
I spend a few years working in the science world and have worked as a Pharmacist, NMR technician at the University of Manchester and teaching assistant at the same university. I am currently working as a multidisciplinary artist. My media: writing, photography and film_making.
About Jar of Words
After writing drafts after drafts of my proposal, I applied for the Arts Councils DYCP grant in 2020. I am delighted to say that I was successful in getting a grant for the production of a website jarofwords.com. I created the website in 2021. Jar of Words is my tool for self-promotion as a writer and to share the process of writing and publishing my debut novel, 'The Age of Deception'. Jar of Words is the link between my writing and the readers to make the creative process somewhat interactive. I would appreciate it if you'd add your views on entries posted on this site. I hope I have the pleasure of your company in the journey ahead.
For the first couple of years, each month, Jar of Words invited inspirational people to talk about their ways of overcoming hardships and obstacles, particularly as we were coming out a pandemic. I still add entries to the Hot Seat section of the website, only not as regular.
