Birmingham Post review by Ruth Millington
  • Birmingham Post, A Sense of Belonging, 29 May 2025
    • “The sense of threat carries into ‘How To Walk Like A Woman’ by Editoriat, who has fashioned a photo grid of empty paths where a solo woman walking might feel unease. Each is captioned, wittily, with genuine text from women’s magazines telling them how to carry themselves.”
  • Belongings examines heritage & multiculturalism in debut exhibition, Birmingham Wire, 21 May 2025
    • “This exhibition is about all kinds of belongings. Sometimes that means feeling like you don’t belong – which is something I’ve explored in my work, disrupting those toxic media messages that make us feel ‘less than’.”
  • New Midlands Artists Collective launch first exhibition Belongings – What’s On Birmingham, 2025
    • “Other artists have questioned the spaces from which they feel alienated. Combining text and image in her prints, Editoriat highlights public spaces where women often feel unsafe, particularly late at night.”
  • On building a walking arts collective – QVC, 2023
    • “I’m at an age when women are often overlooked and invisible in our society. I’ve become really interested in that invisibility – where it is empowering and where it’s disempowering … I’m reassessing so much in terms of female equality. I spent many years working in women’s magazines. How did I not see how much pressure they placed on women to look and act a certain way?” 
  • How to disappear: Meet Birmingham’s invisible woman – World of Topia, 2022-2024
    • “As a woman unseen, being able to move around the city at night on my own terms represents freedom. Freedom from being tracked online is much harder to achieve – as we are all being tracked, profiled, predicted and monetised, often without meaningful consent.”
  • Stirchley launches tourist walking tours after being named one of the best places to live in Britain – Birmingham Mail, 5 April 2021
    • “We had spent lockdown walking around the same streets over and over, so we started the project with us pinning curiosities and weird points of interest on a Google map. There are now nearly 250 pins on there with all kinds of oddities. The idea to do a National Trust-style tour guide started as bit of a joke, responding to the Conde Nast feature naming Stirchley as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the UK. Then with this year’s inclusion in the Sunday Times’ list of best places to live I decided to finally realise it.”
