Still feeling incredibly grateful to have been selected as part of this year’s artist crew for Badlands Festival in Houston.

It was such a wonderful experience to share space alongside so many talented artists, creatives and makers, and to connect with everyone who stopped by, shared conversations, supported the work and took the time to engage with the stories behind it all.

A huge thank you to the organisers, sponsors, fellow artists and the entire community who helped make the festival so special!
