Singer and multi-instrumentalist, Ellen Beth Abdi has toured across Europe and recently completed her debut album:
"Our Resonance residency explored themes of afrofuturism, folk and dreaming. We also delved into the idea of our past, present and future selves and how they affect our identity.
"The most valuable thing was having that freedom and time to create with Seren and Meme. We all brought so many different skills to the table and developed the ideas combining each of our practices. It made me feel free while also putting me outside of my comfort zone."
