Heather’s work combines research with critical fabulation in works that blend film, archive material and performance most recently in Fugitives in the Archive (Spike Island, 2024), a short film which surfaces the hidden history of people escaping slavery in Georgian Britain, and an exhibition of the same name at Bristol Central Library.

Heather is currently artist-in-residence at the National Portrait Gallery in London, where she is exploring Global Majority sitters in 16th to mid-19th century portraiture in Britain. She also works across the creative sector as a producer and communications consultant.
