Like cycling, exploring cities, learning, participatory arts, good democracy and drinking.

Travelling around at the moment looking for a new home after having left London.

Currently volunteering with refugee aid serbia, exploring the city and conducting some informal research! Would really love to learn more about serbian culture and meet some locals!

Back ground in visual cultures but moved into urban design/community engagement and formerly worked as a consultant in things like neighbourhood planning, developing outreach programmes, participatory arts projects and researching better ways that public authorities can work with communities and help to facilitate bottom-up activity, writing https://clippings.me/users/katyhawkins
