Rhiannon Chaloner with several members from the Bristol Roma Community
Rhiannon is a visual artist and performer, musician and arts producer, with a background in collaborative performance practices, which has directly led to the development of a socially engaged arts practice. She often works with different community and specialist interest groups, to construct actions or performances. Her work uses extreme handy-crafting, writing, photography and video, particularly performance to camera. Rhiannon met the project participants via running an art club for Roma children and young people, at Kensington Baptist Church in Bristol.
