SCOTLAND
Vicky is currently working as a consultant with Standing Tall Scotland, an organisation which organises regular arts activities, workshops and residentials with refugee children and young people, and victims of trafficking who arrive in Scotland alone.
In Spring 2023, Vicky was invited to deliver an experiential ‘beyond the screen’ session at Cromarty Film Festival, to complement their dance film programme. The result was Transitions - a creative movement workshop in a lighthouse.
In July 2022 and March 2023, Vicky worked with Historic Environment Scotland on a pilot project, bringing together heritage sites and those who have experienced displacement through forced and voluntary migration. The first phase of this innovative project can be viewed here.
Vicky worked with Amina Muslim Women’s Resource Centre from 2020 - 2022 heading up their Creative Projects team and during this time curated and designed the lockdown exhibition, Life in the Time and re-established their Dundee based creative wellbeing work, establishing connections with DCA, Dundee Rep and V&A Dundee.
In 2022, Vicky acted as Lead Facilitator and Director on Bijli Production’s We Make the Path project, designing and facilitating trauma-informed creative workshops with women currently navigating the asylum process. The result of these workshops was a public showcase performed at CCA Glasgow in August 2022.
In 2022, Vicky was engaged as a consultant for Safe in Scotland, designing a holisitic wellbeing programme for service users and staff. Safe in Scotland are the main provider of emergency and temporary accommodation for people experiencing asylum-based destitution.

In 2018-2020 Vicky worked with a variety of organisations, including National Theatre of Scotland, Scottish Youth Theatre and Terra Incognita. She was the Scotland-wide Communities Producer for Danny Boyle’s armistice commemoration, Pages of the Sea.
ASIA
Based in Beijing from 2008 - 2017, in 2009 Vicky founded Electric Shadows, a nonprofit film collective, which played a key role in helping shape the evolution of public cinema in Beijing.
As well as monthly short film, documentary and arthouse film screening events, Electric Shadows produced the EU Film Festival’s first ever full Short Film programme, created Asian Cinema Week for Jue Festival and worked with the Bookworm to curate film events throughout the year and during their iconic Literary Festival.
From 2013 - 2016, Vicky worked as Creative Projects Manager for Koryo Tours, the world's leading North Korean travel specialist, producing video content and organising cultural engagement events between international artists and their North Korean counterparts.
Her work with Koryo Tours has taken her to North Korea more than 20 times and ranges from co-ordinating overseas submissions to the Pyongyang International Film Festival, to producing ground-breaking work within the country itself, such as the viral time-lapse video Enter Pyongyang. Her most recent project, working with 3D photographer Matjaz Tancic, is the most wide-ranging portraiture series ever undertaken in North Korea, and recently became the first art-photography exhibition ever to be shown in Pyongyang.
In 2004, whilst studying at ECA, Vicky pioneered an exchange programme with Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology in Bangalore. During her time in India, Vicky worked with dancers and choreographers from Attakalari to produce the award winning film Sound Horn OK which toured festivals in Asia, Europe and South America.
